Remarks.
This species is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix I and breeding populations are established in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve reservoirs in
Singapore
(
Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010
). One of the documented sources is from then-PPD (Primary Productions Department; presently divided into National Parks Board and
Singapore
Food Agency) (see
Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010
, for a more detailed account). The
Singapore
variants are of questionable sources, and probably the consequence of artificial crosses between recognised colour variants (Andy Yap, pers. comm.).
