This study examines life history patterns and correlations between traits related to body size,
reproduction, age, and growth in sharks, using data from 230 populations representing 164 …

A demographic technique is used to compare the intrinsic rates of population increase of 26
shark species hypothetically exposed to fishing mortality. These rates (r2M) are used as a …

Sharks and their relatives, the rays and chimaeras, are the diverse group of cartilaginous
fishes that have evolved over 400 million years. Historically considered of low economic …

We compared life-history traits and extinction risk of chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and
chimaeras), a group of high conservation concern, from the three major marine habitats …

Shark nets have been set off the beaches of KwaZulu–Natal, South Africa, since 1952 to
reduce the risk of shark attack. The nets fish in fixed localities 400 m from shore and both …

Age and growth estimates for the blue shark (Prionace glauca) were derived from 411
vertebral centra and 43 tag-recaptured blue sharks collected in the North Atlantic, ranging in …

Although many coastal shark species have widespread distributions, the genetic
relatedness of worldwide populations has been examined for few species. The blacktip …

Recent calls for a more holistic approach to fisheries management have motivated
development of trophic mass-balance models of ecosystems that underlie fisheries …

This publication is a compilation of species profiles for 139 important marine linefish species
from 38 families caught in southern African waters, including both teleosts and …

Maturity and growth characteristics were estimated for Dasyatis dipterura from western
Mexico, where it is a common component of artisanal elasmobranch fisheries. Median disc …
