Was doing some online browsing, and found a couple of interesting documents - one that shows the full collection plan for one TAG group, and another that shows what may potentially end up in the plans.
Firstly, I found the
full 2020 EAZA collection plan for
Freshwater Teleosts. While currently there are twelve new-style EEPs for families of freshwater fish, the eventual plan is for thirty EEPs.
First, the twelve existing programmes:
1) Toothcarps,
Valenciidae
2) Mudminnows,
Umbridae
3) Perches,
Percidae
4) Cichlids,
Cichlidae
5) African tetras,
Alestidae
6) Poeciliids,
Poeciliidae
7) Asian killifish,
Aplocheilidae
8) Pupfishes,
Cyprinodontidae, including
Aphaniidae
9) Rainbowfishes,
Melanotaeniidae
10) Madagascar rainbowfishes,
Bedotiidae
11) Goodeids,
Goodeidae
12) Gourami,
Osphronemidae
These are the additional planned programmes:
13) Ricefishes,
Adrianichthyidae
14) Neotropical silversides,
Atherinopsidae
15) Armoured catfishes,
Callichthyidae
16) Characins,
Characidae
17) Loaches,
Cobitidae
18) Minnows and carps,
Cyprinidae
19) Distichodus,
Distichodontidae
20) Topminnows and killifishes,
Fundulidae
21) Sticklebacks and tubesnouts,
Gasterosteidae
22) Pencilfishes,
Lebiasinidae
23) Stone loaches,
Nemacheilidae
24) African rivulines,
Nothobranchiidae
25) Priapiumfishes,
Phallostethidae
26) Middle American killifishes,
Profundulidae
27) Blue-eyes,
Pseudomugilidae *
28) Sailfin silversides,
Telmatherinidae *
29) Pufferfishes,
Tetraodontidae
30) Halfbeaks,
Zenarchopteridae
* The document says that these two groups would be managed together with the Australian rainbowfishes
Melanotaeniidae, but the same was supposed to be true of the Madagascar rainbowfishes, which now have their own EEP, so whether plans for these other groups have changed or not I do not know.
In addition, the document records 42 groups that will be subject to a Monitoring Programme, and twelve groups with Do Not Obtain recommendations.
The second article I found relates to the
Elasmobranchs TAG. An
article from the Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research from back in 2017 gives the full list of elasmobranch species kept in EAZA zoos, their breeding status and, most pertinently for this thread, what sort of programme it is managed under, if any. Here, I will include the list of already present breeding programmes and also those species subject to a Monitoring Programme that could be upgraded to a new-style EEP.
Species already managed as a breeding programme (including how they are listed in the above article):
1) Californian horn shark (New-style EEP - updated from ESB)
2) Zebra shark (New-style EEP - updated from ESB)
3) Sandbar shark (New-style EEP - updated from ESB)
4) Blacktip reef shark (New-style EEP - updated from ESB)
5) Short-tail nurse shark (New-style EEP - updated from Monitoring Programme)
6) Undulate ray (New-style EEP - updated from Monitoring Programme)
7) Common skate and flapper skate (New-style EEP - brand-new programme)
8) Green and largetooth sawfishes (ESB)
9) Blue-spotted maskray (ESB)
10) Blue-spotted stingray (ESB)
11) Ocellated eagle ray (ESB)
Species with a monitoring programme (including their status in EAZA aquaria as of 2015):
1) Bull ray,
Aetomylaeus bovinus (8 individuals across 4 collections, no breeding)
2) Coral catshark,
Atelomycterus marmoratus (36 individuals across 10 collections, breeding)
3) Sand tiger shark,
Carcharias taurus (36 individuals across 16 collections, no breeding)
4) Common stingray,
Dasyatis pastinaca (86 individuals across 24 collections, breeding)
5) Tope,
Galeorhinus galeus (0 individuals, no breeding)
6) Nurse shark,
Ginglymostoma cirratum (55 individuals across 26 collections, no breeding)
7) Blackchin guitarfish,
Glaucostegus cemiculus (75 individuals across 13 collections, breeding) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
8) Epaulette shark,
Hemiscyllium ocellatum (58 individuals across 28 collections, breeding)
9) Reticulate whipray,
Himantura uarnak (20 individuals across 11 collections, no breeding)
10) Spotted ratfish,
Hydrolagus colliei (10 individuals across 3 collections, breeding)
11) Southern stingray,
Hypanus americana (94 individuals across 23 collections, breeding)
12) Starry smooth-hound,
Mustelus asterias (110 individuals across 23 collections, breeding) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
13) Common smooth-hound,
Mustelus mustelus (40 individuals across 13 collections, breeding
Note: this number is almost certainly lower, as common smooth-hounds are only kept in Spanish aquaria, with all others being misidentifications) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
14) Common eagle ray,
Myliobatis aquila (94 individuals across 16 collections, breeding)
15) Largespot river stingray,
Potamotrygon falkneri (2 individuals across 2 collections, no breeding)
16) Xingu River stingray,
Potamotrygon leopoldi (55 individuals across 13 collections, breeding)
17) Ocellate river stingray,
Potamotrygon motoro (205 individuals across 34 collections, breeding)
18) Pelagic stingray,
Pteroplatytrygon violacea (59 individuals across 19 collections, breeding)
19) Blonde ray,
Raja brachyura (23 individuals across 15 collections, breeding) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
20) Thornback ray,
Raja clavata (686 individuals across 44 collections, breeding) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
21) Smalleyed ray,
Raja microocellata (87 individuals across 18 collections, breeding) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
22) Spotted ray,
Raja montagui (50 individuals across 19 collections, breeding) - already confirmed for a new-style EEP
23) Bowmouth guitarfish,
Rhina ancylostoma (9 individuals across 10 collections (d
on't ask how that works - I have no idea), no breeding)
24) Common guitarfish,
Rhinobatos rhinobatos (25 individuals across 10 collections, no breeding)
25) Cownose ray,
Rhinoptera bonasus (90 individuals across 17 collections, breeding)
26) Nursehound,
Scyliorhinus stellaris (393 individuals across 41 collections, breeding)
27) Scalloped hammerhead,
Sphyrna lewini (17 individuals across 7 collections, no breeding)
28) Bonnethead shark,
Sphyrna tiburo (16 individuals across 10 collections, no breeding)
29) Angelshark,
Squatina squatina (3 individuals in 1 collection, breeding)
30) Leopard shark,
Triakis semifasciata (32 individuals across 7 collections, no breeding)
Note that the two smooth-hound species and the four
Raja rays will each be managed in a genus-level EEP, and won't be managed individually (the undulate ray was the only
Raja species that would have its own programme).
