Title: Inclusion of the Hellbender, Including the Eastern Hellbender and the Ozark Hellbender, in CITES Appendix III
Abstract: We will list the hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis), a large aquatic salamander--including its two subspecies, the eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) and the Ozark hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi)--in Appendix III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The listing includes live and dead whole specimens, and all readily recognizable parts, products, and derivatives. Listing hellbenders in Appendix III of CITES is necessary to allow us to adequately monitor international trade in the taxon, to determine whether exports are occurring legally under State law, and to determine whether further measures under CITES or other laws are required to conserve this species and its subspecies.
