Drivers of at-vessel mortality of the blue shark and oceanic whitetip shark
Drivers of at-vessel mortality of the blue shark (Prionace glauca) and oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) assessed from monitored pelagic longline experiments Yoluène Massey, M.Sc., Philippe S. Sabarros, and Pascal Bach ABSTRACT: Elasmobranchs make up a significant part of bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries, whose induced mortality can be a major threat to endangered species.

Occurrence and population structure of sharks in two ecologically or biologically significant marine areas off north-eastern Brazil Laís R. Barcellos, Rodrigo Barreto, Rosângela PT Lessa ABSTRACT: Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) are rare, and highly important sites to the life history of a number of declining shark species are endangered by fishing. The

Age and Growth of the Spot-Tail Shark, Carcharhinus sorrah, in the Taiwan Strait Joung S-J, Hsu Z-Y, Su K-Y, Liu K-M. ABSTRACT: The age and growth of the spot-tail shark, Carcharhinus sorrah, were estimated based on 327 specimens (171 females and 156 males) captured by the coastal/offshore longline or drift net fishery in the waters
