International trade in vulnerable marine species is regulated once they are listed in CITES Appendices (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Parties to the Convention submit proposal(s) 150 days prior to the CITES Conference for voting on the inclusion of new species in Appendices I and II, making a case for why CITES listing criteria are met in each case. Before the vote, Parties receive advice from (a) the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, (b) the International Union for Conservation of Nature—TRAFFIC and (c) the CITES Secretariat, among others. This paper offers an expert review of listing processes, which are the subject of much debate in fishery and environment-protection communities, looking at two specific cases: silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis, Carcharhinidae) and bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus, Alopiidae). The reviewers determine that the evidence made available to voting Parties is substantial, but suffers from non-standard presentation across assessments. The best available data are not always presented or described transparently in relation to CITES criteria. An extension of the assessment period, as well as the opportunity to refute evidence, has been suggested as ways to support more informed and effective decision-making by CITES Parties, whose composition of delegations varies greatly in their experience of marine species management and trade. Experts welcomed a greater coherence of advice between fishery and non-fishery sources in the long term, and proposed a range of suggested improvements for the delivery of information and advice to CITES Parties.

通知 CITES 缔约方:在列入海洋物种时加强基于科学的决策

脆弱海洋物种的国际贸易一旦被列入 CITES 附录(濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约)就受到管制。公约缔约方在 CITES 会议前 150 天提交提案,以就将新物种列入附录 I 和 II 进行投票,并说明为什么在每种情况下都符合 CITES 列名标准。在投票之前,缔约方收到来自 (a) 联合国粮食及农业组织、(b) 国际自然保护联盟 - TRAFFIC 和 (c) CITES 秘书处等的建议。本文提供了对列入过程的专家审查,这是渔业和环境保护界争论不休的主题,着眼于两个具体案例:丝鲨(Carcharhinus falciformis,Carcharhinidae)和大眼长尾鲨(Alopias superciliosus,Alopiidae)。审查人员确定提供给投票方的证据是实质性的,但在评估中存在非标准呈现。与 CITES 标准相关的最佳可用数据并不总是透明地呈现或描述。延长评估期以及提供反驳证据的机会,已被建议作为支持 CITES 缔约方做出更知情和更有效决策的方式,其代表团的组成在海洋物种管理和贸易方面的经验差异很大。从长远来看,专家们欢迎渔业和非渔业来源之间的建议更加一致,并提出了一系列改进建议,以向 CITES 缔约方提供信息和建议。
