Giant Salamander conservation

The lab is now involved in a project on the conservation of Japanese Giant Salamanders (Andrias japonicus) in Daisen, Japan, a project led by Sustainable Daisen.

实验室目前参与了日本大山市的一项日本大鲵生态保护项目，该项目由
Sustainable Daisen发起。

The species is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Species, principally due to habitat loss, and hybridisation with the Chinese Giant Salamander (Andrias daviadanus species complex). The main goal of the project is to understand the impact of water quality on the population, determine the presence of invasive individuals, and restore the connectivity of the habitat for adult individuals to be able to reach the breeding habitat. The lab is sometimes posting updates here.

该物种在IUCN国际自然保护联盟红色名录中列为易危物种，主要是由于栖息地
的丧失以及与中国大鲵(Andrias daviadanus species complex)的杂交。该项目的
主要目标是通过调研了解水质对日本大鲵种群的影响，确认是否存在入侵个体
，并恢复栖息地的连通性，使成年个体能够抵达繁殖栖息地。我们将不定时的
在这里发布最新进展。

All the projects are conducted through non-invasive protocols that do not require touching or handling the species.

所有项目进行都将遵循非侵入性协议，不需要触摸或对物种进行任何处理。
