Abstract :
[en] In Belgium, the possession of certain taxa as pets is regulated at the regional level by positive lists. Those lists identify the species authorized to be held by individuals without specific authorization. In Wallonia, positive lists already exist for mammals and reptiles. In 2019, a work group was created to identify fish species suitable for home aquaria. This group includes representatives of pet trade, animal protection associations and shelters, a veterinarian specializing in fish and a biologist specializing in aquaculture. The group was coordinated by a member of the Walloon public administration and a representative of the Walloon animal welfare council. This presentation will discuss eligibility criteria and how the working group uses FishBase to assess species.
