Résumé

Eurasian mammals offered for tourist hunting on the European market The list of species offered from the 38 supply countries covered by this survey has been compiled from advertisements (including internet), catalogs and price lists (Table 7). The price offers come from the four major agencies in Belgium for 1998/99, 30 agencies in Germany 1998/99; 40 agencies in Italy 1999; and 20 agencies and hunting magazine advertisements in Spain. The 44 species that could clearly be taxonomically identified are listed in Table 7. The listing is limited to Carnivora and Artiodactyla, the two most important groups for tourist hunting, and to the 38 supply countries. Apart from the Carnivora and Artiodactyla, there are only a few other mammal species offered: Marmot, (probably Bobac Marmot Marmota bobac) in Mongolia, Beaver Castor fiber in Lithuania, Muskrat Ondatra zibethica in Hungary, and rabbit and hare in Eastern European countries.
