FISHGainey, in CISFBR (2009), states that of the 55 species and about 10 hybrids of native orintroduced freshwater fish known in the British Isles, 35 have been recorded in Cornwall.None are rare, but several can be considered Locally Scarce, provisionally Nationally Scarceor a species of conservation concern. Many more marine and estuarine species have beenrecorded, which range from Locally Scarce / species of conservation concern to RDBspecies.There should be a presumption for selecting fish sites because they support the following:Cornwall BAP Priority speciesAll sites with significant populations of the following species qualify for selection:Acipenser sturio Common SturgeonAlosa alosa Allis ShadAlosa fallax Twaite ShadAnguilla anguilla European EelSalmo salar Atlantic SalmonSalmo trutta Brown/Sea TroutLampetra fluviatilis River LampreySpecies listed on Schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (asamended)A site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of a listed species.Species listed on Annex II of the EC Habitats Directive (1992, as amended)A site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of a listed species.Red Data Book (RDB) SpeciesA site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of a RDB species.Nationally Scarce SpeciesA site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of a Nationally Scarcespecies.Species of county importanceA site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of a species of countyimportance, or if it supports two species of county importance. Some data on locallyimportant fish is available within the Red Data Book for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly(CISFBR, 2009). The selection of sites based on presence of species of county importancewill need to be justified case-by-case by reference to expert judgement, utilising thereferences above.Appendix 6 – Species Evaluation in CornwallCounty Wildlife Sites Criteria
REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS (HERPTILES)There should be a presumption for selecting reptile and amphibian sites because theysupport the following species:Cornwall BAP Priority speciesA site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of the following species:Anguis fragilis Slow-wormBufo bufo Common ToadLacerta agilis Sand Lizard (reintroduced)Lacerta vivipara Common LizardNatrix natrix Grass SnakeVipera berus AdderSpecies listed on Schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (asamended)All species above are also listed on Schedule 5 and therefore a site is eligible for selection ifit supports a significant population of any of the above species.Species listed on Schedule 5 of the Conservation of Habitats and SpeciesRegulations 2010A site is eligible for selection if it supports a significant population of the following species:Lacerta agilis Sand Lizard (reintroduced)Sites with significant Reptile assemblagesFoster & Gent (1996) put forward the following criteria for selection of ‘Key Reptile Sites’,which should be considered for designation: All sites with three or more reptile species All sites with two snake species Sites with exceptional populations of one species (see table below) Assemblage sites with a score of four or more (see table below)PopulationSpecies Low Good ExceptionalAdder 10Grass snake 10Common lizard 20Slow-worm 20Score 1 2 3The figures refer to maximum numbers of reptiles recorded by one person in one day, byobservation and/or by checking under ‘tins’ placed at a density of up to 10 per hectare. The‘tinning’ survey method is described in Gent & Gibson (1998).Appendix 6 – Species Evaluation in CornwallCounty Wildlife Sites Criteria
