Investigation and Catalogue of Vertebrate Resources in Hunan Hupingshan National Nature Reserve (I): Pisci

为了全面了解湖南壶瓶山国家级自然保护区鱼类研究历史，掌握鱼类物种多样性现状，促进生物多样性保护和保护区管理工作，我们系统地收集了该区建区40多年来有关鱼类研究的文献资料，结合团队近15年以来连续野外调查与监测数据，对该区鱼类名录进行了整理与更新(截止到2024年12月31日)。结果表明：该地区已记录鱼类6目15科61种，其中华东区和华南区共有种有14种，占总物种数的22.95%，其次是华东区有12种，占19.67%。列入中国生物多样性红色名录濒危2种，易危3种，近危6种。湖南省重点保护动物有8种。在地理分布上，符合我国华东区江淮亚区特征。针对鱼类物种分布现状，提出保护管理建议。To comprehensively understand the history of fish research in Hunan Hupingshan National Nature Reserve, grasp the current status of fish species diversity, and conserve biodiversity and promote the management of the nature reserve, we systematically collected literature on fish research in the reserve over the 40 years, and combined with the data from the team’s successive field surveys and monitoring over the past 15 years, we have compiled and updated the fish species list for the reserve (until December 31st, 2024). The results showed that 61 species of fishes belonging to 15 families and 6 orders were recorded in the reserve. There were 14 species in East and South China, accounting for 22.95% of the total number of species, followed by 12 species in East China, accounting for 19.67%. Listed in China’s Biodiversity Red List: 2 endangered species, 3 vulnerable species, and 6 near-threatened species. There are 8 species of key protected animals in Hunan Province. In terms of zoogeographical in distribution, it conforms to the characteristics of the Kiangho-Huai Province in East China Plain Subregion. According to the current distribution status of fish species, recommendations for conservation and management are proposed.
