La Paz, in November. 12 .- The seven species of fish living in Lake Titicaca, shared by Peru and Bolivia, are at risk of extinction due to overfishing and the existence of foreign carnivores, said Julián Barra Catacora, chief executive of the Binational Authority Lake Titicaca (ALT). This event will
irremediable if regeneration policies are within approximately ten years, he said. Barra Catacora
rowers and suches reported missing in the Bolivian side, while in the Peruvian sector of the lake are few examples of these two varieties.
"In reality, all species are in danger of being extinct, but at least are in karachi this time, the mauri and ispi. However, if things develop as in the past few decades it could all disappear, because there are several people involved to seek their livelihood, "he said. He noted that
Bolivia and Peru should do a significant effort to repopulate the lake Titicaca under a fisheries management.
also highlighted the importance of educating the fishermen to use "fishing conservative media."
"At least there are seven identified fish species in Lake Titicaca: ispi, karachi, mackerel, trout, vogue, suche, mauri and now the golden trout is unique in the world," he recalled in a conversation with the Bolivia's La Razon newspaper.
"While there has been a study to define the degree of risk of extinction of fish, and the vogue suche are most at risk. Both species are hard to find market and are now raised in a Peruvian lake "he said.
also noted that the trout has been missing nearly as wild species in the lake, but said that has developed in captivity.
Meanwhile, Didi Flores, head of the development component of the ALT Hydrobiological said that another cause of extinction is the introduction of exotic fish such as mackerel and trout, which prey on other species in the lake .
"These (alien species) were introduced in the last half century. This caused that species are disappearing native. For example, have already disappeared humanto, which was legally declared extinct in the wild, mainly due to the depredations of mackerel and trout, pollution and overfishing, "he said.
Flores said that markets look "young", ie fish that have not been allowed to grow or reproduce.
"The same happens with native species. The fishing on the timing of reproduction and do not let the cycle continue for life, "he added.
On the other hand, said that although it was produced a decade ago in the Lake Titicaca, the golden trout is a strain that is still under evaluation.
indicated that the features found in the specimen could be used for sport fishing.
