Threatened species yes/no? What about Eczoil®?
We often receive concerned messages regarding the threat of extinction to the rays in our oceans. There are indeed a number of species mentioned on the Cites lists*. These are lists drafted by international organisations of species protected by law against overfishing1.
If you consider how rays are divided taxonomically – the Batoidea super-order and the Myliobatiformes – you see a division in families between whiptail stingrays (Dasyatidae) and eagle rays (Myliobatidae). The beautiful manta ray forms part of this latter family grouping and are very rare indeed.
Not one of the family of whiptail rays is listed on a CITES list (see CITES list of a ray species2), which means that these rays are not under threat. Our fishermen in the Caribbean confirm this, as whiptail rays are often found in their nets, which Eczoil® processes in a sustainable manner into a pure product.
Aina zinazotishiwa ndiyo au hapana? Vipi kuhusu Eczoil? Mara nyingi tunapokea ujumbe wenye wasiwasi kuhusu tisho la kutoweka kwa miale katika bahari zetu. Kwa kweli kuna spishi kadhaa zilizotajwa katika orodha za Cites.* Hizi ni orodha zilizotengenezwa na mashirika ya kimataifa ya spishi zinazolindwa na sheria dhidi ya uvuvi kupita kiasi1. Ikiwa utafikiria jinsi miale imegawanywa taxonomically - Batoidea super-order na Myliobatiformes - unaona mgawanyiko katika familia kati ya miale ya whiptail (Dasyatidae) na miale ya tai (Myliobatidae). Mnyama huyo mrembo anayeitwa manta ray ni sehemu ya kikundi hicho cha mwisho cha familia na ni nadra sana. Hakuna jamii yoyote ya panya iliyoorodheshwa kwenye orodha ya CITES (tazama orodha ya CITES ya spishi za panya), ambayo inamaanisha kwamba panya hawa hawahatarini. Wavuvi wetu katika Caribbean kuthibitisha hili, kama whiptail rays ni mara nyingi kupatikana katika nyavu zao, ambayo Eczoil® taratibu kwa njia endelevu katika bidhaa safi.
