The purpose of the Species Use Database is to collect information from as wide a range of species and use regimes as possible, including published evidence about sustainability, but NOT to provide a formal assessment of whether use is sustainable (or of the quality of any evidence recorded). Any determination of sustainability presented in the record is based solely on the author(s) conclusions. Learn more about us
