保育: Xiphophorus meyeri 由国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)在濒危物种红色名录中为自然保育而进行了评估 evaluated (EW) 野外灭绝(Extinct in the wild) (2018). Due to complete loss of habitat through water abstraction for mining activities wich let to its comlete dessecation, the species is considered extinct in the wild. The last sighting of this species was in 1997 and it has since been extensively sampled (Almada-Villela et al., 2019). The habitat has now been recovered and a major priority for conservation of this species is reintroduction of ex-situ individuals back into its natural habitat.
