>Dear all:
>
>Following a number of widely published arrests of aquarists collecting
>without proper documentation in Brazil, and another round of very poor
>descriptions of would-be new species in aquarium literature, a number of
>scientists and editors have worked on a policy, or rather a set of
>recommendations, which attempts to express a best code of good conduct and
>also a guideline for action.
>
>Numerous scientists, representing major museums and universities in Europe,
>North America, and South America already support the policy with their
>names, and the drafting committee will now post the policy text as a web
>document. Various publishers have also expressed interest in publishing the
>policy text.
>
>We now invite you to examine the policy document which can be
>viewed/downloaded from http://www.nrm.se/ve/pisces/poly2000.pdf You need
>the Adobe Acrobat reader software to view the document.
>
>If you would like to support the policy with your name, please advise me or
>any member of the drafting committee. Title (PhD, Professor, PhD candidate,
>or similar), function (Senior Scientist, Curator, Editor, etc), preferred
>institutional affiliation, and city, may be cited along with your name
>unless you express otherwise.
>
>It will always be possible to support the document at a later date, but it
>is now high time for being in the pioneering group.
