Press Release New England Aquarium 15. September 2021 — — — —- — — — BOSTON, MASS. (Sept. 15, 2021) – A new landmark study of over 300 sharks found that some species are extremely resilient to the stress of being caught and released in commercial longline fisheries while other species are much more likely

Hueter, John K. Carlson, Heather M. Marshall ABSTRACT: Bycatch mortality is a major factor contributing to shark population declines. Post-release mortality (PRM) is particularly difficult to quantify,

Broadhurst ABSTRACT: Increasing fishing effort, including bycatch and discard practices, are impacting marine biodiversity, particularly among slow-to-reproduce taxa such as elasmobranchs, and specifically sharks. While some fisheries involving sharks are sustainably managed, collateral mortalities
