P.S. I attached a question mail again.
----------------------------
This is Hiroko Koike from Fukuoka, Japan.
Among our BFS-net mailing list, we are discussing on BFS population
trend during last year and this year.
We have any questions;
(1) Are their any sign of decrease of BFS for this year in Tainan?
(2) What is main cause of BFS decrease last year in Tainan? High tides,
heavy rain, or other environmental change?
I understand it may difficult to answer even now, but if you have
new evidence, please let us know.
(3) We suppose many of BFS individuals are migrating to China, Vietnam,
Philippines, and Thailand. Do you get enough information from them?
(4) In Tainan, do you also have conservation problems for BFS? (e.g.
decrease of fish ponds)
We would appreciate if any of you would send your opinion to us.
Best wishes,
Hiroko Koike
