Callitrichidae - trade, captive breeding, distribution pattern
FOLEJTAROVÁ, Lucie
This work is focused on working with available information about biology, about conditions of population in free nature, about endanger and protection (mainly CITES, IUCN) of tribe called Callitrichidae. Then it valuates and elaborates the international trade based on information from the database CITIES during the years 1977 2013. Results are rated in case of business reasons, origin of specimen, structure of commodities, lands of import and export. Among the critical endagered species belong Leontopithecus caissara (Black-faced Lion Tamarin) with the estimated population in free nature of just only 400 pieces, Saguinus oedipus (Cotton-headed Tamarin) with the population in free nature about 6000 pieces. Trade with Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), which is classified as not endangered, makes 81% of the trade. Mostly reasons of this trade are commerce, science, zoo and medical reasons since 1990s. Most of these pieces come from breeding in captivity and they are mostly samples and then living pieces. The biggest importers are USA and Switzerland. The biggest exporters are Germany and Great Britain. South Afrika is the biggest exporter of living pieces and Germany and Great Britain are the biggest exporters of samples.
