CONCLUSIONS

1) Sakhalin taimen tend to occur contagiously and are more likely to occur in larger drainages. 2) The species might have had wider distribution in the past, especially in the northern part of Japan.

Historical Distribution

1) Agricultural development was an important cause for the Sakhalin taimen local extinction, 2) Extant subpopulations tended to survive in drainages with lower elevations (perhaps due to more wetland habitats).

Local Extinction

This technique – Spatially Explicit Modeling - may be applied to red list assessments for other species (e.g. Hucho taimen).
