I'm not generally a tree-hugger and I rarely get preachy, but were you aware
that orange roughy is endangered?

Is there a "best source" you can provide for a list of endengered species?
What organization is actually the final authority on these? Or can
anybody that loves chihuahuas put up a website about their "endangered"
status and if enough people believe...really believe...they (the
chihuahuas!) will become so?

This site was brought to my attention when I posted a shark steak
(oops) recipe on my blog.

Seems sharks are endangered also, so please be careful Blinky.

I don't think the Monterey Aquarium, while probably knowledgeable, is the
authority on endangered species, which is what I requested.

Afterthought: I'm not trying to be a hard-ass, here -- honest. But my
thinking is that if there are *laws* about taking endangered species (from
woodpeckers to tigers, not just fish), they must be based on something
more organizationally authoritative than a local aquarium, however groovy
that local aquarium is. "You are sentenced to 3 years of community
service for keeping that blue-footed lake trout, because the Lake
Winnebago Aquarium says they're endangered", doesn't seem probable. :)
So I'm just looking for what that real authority might be.
