International trade in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and CITES
ZIKMUNDOVÁ, Ivona
In the Czech Republic, the eel (Anguilla anguilla), was an abundant species for a longtime. Nowadays the eel is threatened species due to the excessive fishing and the loss of migration routes. The individuals from the wild nature belong to one of the main sources of the trade in spite of the fact that the eel is registered on the list of CITES; Appendix II including species which are not instantly threated with extinction (33 % of 309 trades in 5 years). The number and the volume of trades was assessed based on data from CITES. Before including the eel on the CITES list, the registered individuals represented the most significant source of the majority of all trades (55 %). Registered individuals were followed by eels from the wild nature. The biggest part of trades was made by meat (38 %) which is very popular in spite of the high fat content. Living individuals, eel bodies, small leather goods and eel leather were traded also very well. Among the main purposes of the trade belong the commercial market (94 %), scientific and medical purpose as well as the captive breeding. The traded eel came mostly from France (21 % of trades), Korea, Great Britain and Morocco. For 20 % of trades the country of origin was unknown. The most exporting countries were: China (32 %), Mexico, Greece, Morocco and Denmark. Targets export markets were especially in USA (15 %), Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Canada.

Trade in Malagasy and subsaharan tortoises protected by CITES
KUNCLOVÁ, Kateřina
The excessive collection and destruction of their natural biotope are the dominant cause of decrease in free nature occurance, therefore the majority of tortoises were classified in the CITES convention. This theses evalued the trade with madagascan and sub-Saharan tortoises from the Testudinidae family between years 1978 and 2012. The CITES Trade databasis was the main sources of datas. The most imported species were Stigmochelys pardalis, Testudo graeca and Kinixys homeana. These species were the most imported for comercial purposes and as specimens bred in captivity. The most exported species were Stigmochelys pardalis, Testudo graeca and Kinixys homeana again for the comercial purposes and as specimens bred in captivity.

International trade in species of the family Crocodylidae
VEJBOROVÁ, Tereza
This thesis is focused on the evaluation of an international trade with species of Crocodylidae family. The main data source was CITES trade database, in which there are registered all the trades with required species. Based on data analysis it was identified the course of commerce with all the commodities between 1993 and 2012. The most frequently marketed species are these four crocodiles: Crocodylus niloticus, porosus, siamensis a novaeguineae. For these species were observed total net import, gross export, the number of trades per year, share of countries participated on import and export, the purpose of the trade and the source of traded commodities. At the rest of the species the less marketed ones summary tables of import and gross export were created. From the analysis was found out that the most of monitored species come from the farm breeding, which are specialised inleather and meat production. The third significant commodity is leather products. From charts can be noticed the growth of leather and skin production for Nile crocodile and of live specimens export for Siamese crocodile. For the next two in detail analysed species there was no production growth noted.

International trade in sea horses (\kur{Hippocampus spp}.)
NEDOROSTOVÁ, Anna
This work comprehensively reviews the international trade in sea horses, particularly the Hippocampus genus, from 1997 to 2012. The genus was added to the Appendices II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (thereinafter as the CITES) in 2002, came into force in 2004. Before the addition, the genus was entered into the appendix D for the non-CITES species whose import is monitored by the EU. The CITES Trade Database kept by the UNEP - WCMC Secretariat was used as the source of data about the trade. The frequency of the trade in sea horses tended to be increasing with a moderate decrease in 2009. The Hippocampus species was traded in the following forms: live, bodies, derivatives, specimens, medicine, carvings, eggs live, extracts, fingerlings, powder, skeletons, skin pieces, soup, trophies and other unspecified forms. The living specimens traded: (1) specimens taken from the wild., (2) animals bred in captivity as well as parts and derivatives, (3) Animals born in captivity (F1 or subsequent generations) that do not fulfil the definition of 'bred in captivity', as well as parts and derivatives thereof, (4) specimens of animals reared in a controlled environment, taken as eggs or juveniles from the wild, where they would otherwise have had a very low probability of surviving to adulthood, (5) confiscated or seized specimens, (6) pre- Convention specimens. The trades purposes were: (1) commercial, (2) personal, (3) scientific, (4) zoo (aquarium) breeding, (5) educational, (6) breeding in captivity, circus and other exhibitions, (7) conventional medicine, (8) law enforcement / judicial / forensic purposes. The most traded genus was unspecified (Hippocampus spp.), then the H. kuda, the H. reidi and the H. erectus as living specimens or dead bodies; also the ones from the wild and for the commercial purposes. Those came mostly from Vietnam, Thailand or Australia. They were exported mainly from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Australia. The greatest importers were the USA, Germany and the Great Britain.

International trade in the Siberian sturgeon (\kur{Acipenser baerii})
KORUNKOVÁ, Eva
Sturgeon fish (Acipenseriformes) is commercially used to produce high quality fish meat and highly priced caviar. In fact, all species of Sturgeon fish are integrated into CITES appendix. Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) is the most frequently bred/reared and the most commercial representative of its kind, not only in Europe but also in Asia. The aim of this final project is to evaluate international sturgeon trade while using CITES references from 1998-2012. The source of data(s) was commercial database CITES. Over the last 15 years, we have exported and imported almost 5000 tons and 32 million pieces of all species. During this monitored period the frequency/traffic of the trade increased. The mostly traded forms were fish eggs which were exclusively destined/designated for commercial purpose and came from those specimens which were reared in captivity - (94% from commercial activity). People mostly traded sturgeon in these forms : (1) eggs, (2) caviar, (3) extracts,(4) derivatives, (5) fish meat and others. In the last 3 years, the trade intensity in fish eggs markedly decreased. On the contrary, since 2008 there was an annual growth of/in the sale of caviar. France was not only the country of origin but also the country where there was the largest/greatest/biggest volume of market. Germany was one of the main export countries, while Armenia , if we take the quantity (kg) into account. On the other hand, The U.S. was the main import country. Sturgeon was exported in the greatest quantity to Moldavia. During the period of time mentioned above, The Czech Republic exported only twice (35 000 pieces) and imported (210 pieces) of living specimen.

The Relationship between Purpose and Means in Philosophy and Politics
Bednář, Miloslav
Bednář confronts Machiavelli's understanding of the relationship between purpose and means in politics to Plato's concept of it as presented in the dialogue Gorgias and with current attempts to justify Machiavelli's concept of politics. Machiavelli's voluntaristic outline of politics and the resulting manipulative populism is neither democratism, nor a republican non-domination.

\kur{Hirudo medicinalis} and CITES
NIEDLOVÁ, Eva
Medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis Linnaeus, 1758) was common species in the Czech Republic and Europe in 18th century. Hirudo medicinalis is used for medicinal purposes for about 2000 years. As a result of disappearing of suitable habitats and thus also host species medicinal leech is an endangered animal species nowadays. Many authors write about its biology, ecology and biogeography, but no one writes about trade with it. This study is focused on the evaluation the trade with Hiurdo medicinalis using CITES Trade Database. Hirudo medicinalis has been protected by CITES (Appendix II) from 1987 and thus the trade with this species was quantified over last 25 years (1987 ? 2011). Trade of medicinal leeches was sorted according to the (1) country of origin, (2) export and (3) import countries, its (4) forms (live, bodies, specimens, extract, derivatives, powders, oils and medicine), (5) purpose of trade (commercial, scientific, personal, medical, educational and breeding in captivity) and (6) its source (animals bred in captivity, animal born in captivity till F1 generation, confiscated specimens, animals taken from the wild and pre-convention specimens). Trade trend was statistically evaluated in (1) live specimens, (2) commercial purposes and (3) Hirudo medicinalis originated from breeding in captivity and (4) from wild (all is for export and import). It was found that the most frequently and the greatest trade is with live medicinal leeches. Turkey, Romania and Germany export the largest number of the medicinal leeches from the wild and trade grows with this species originated from the captive breeding regularly.
