Protocol Information Cryptoheros panamensis

http://www.nvcweb.nl/

For this information protocol to be effective on one species:

- I need to know if the species is wild or farmed.

The commerce of exotic fish in Panama is very little (or inexistent). Probably this fish has been raised in a farm

- I need to know if the habitat is endangered and by who or what.

Endangered by water contamination due agriculture and industrials wastes.

Endangered by other foreign species of fish more big and aggressive

- Know whether the species is endangered in its habitat

This specie and others are in danger or the population is small due the factors of contamination and introduction of foreign species.

- Know whether the sale of the species put at risk the repopulation of it in its natural environment.
