Is the scarcity of carnivorous fish in China a national first-class protected animal?

The scarcity of carnivorous fish in China does not necessarily mean that they are national first-class protected animals. The identification of protected animals is usually decided by the protection measures formulated by governments or relevant institutions in various countries according to investigations and laws and regulations.

If a fish is listed as a national key protected animal because it is rare or threatened, it will enjoy special protection and management measures, and its wild fishing and trade will be restricted. Therefore, whether it belongs to the national first-class key protected animals needs to refer to local regulations and related protection lists.

If you are concerned about the protection of a certain kind of fish, it is suggested that you consult the relevant protection catalogue and policies, or consult the local environmental protection department or relevant professional institutions to obtain the protection information of relevant fish.
