Impact of artisanal fisheries on threatened sharks and rays in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh

Fishers’ tales—Impact of artisanal fisheries on threatened sharks and rays in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh Alifa Bintha Haque, Rachel D. Cavanagh, Julia L. Y. Spaet ABSTRACT: Increasing fishing pressure has negatively impacted elasmobranch populations globally. Despite high levels of historical and current fishing pressure, the Bay of Bengal region remains data-poor. Focusing on Bangladesh,
