Indices of abundance based on fishery catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) are important
components of many stock assessments, particularly when fishery-independent surveys are …

The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is a large predator in marine ecosystems, figuring as the
most common and abundant species in oceanic fisheries. For this reason, many studies on …

Large pelagic sharks are distributed throughout all of the oceans and are caught as bycatch
in pelagic longline fisheries worldwide. In the southern Atlantic Ocean, more than a dozen …

The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is the most frequently captured shark in pelagic oceanic
fisheries, especially pelagic longlines targeting swordfish and/or tunas. As part of …

Abundance indices are difficult to derive from multispecies catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) data
as these critically rely on the ability to account for targeting behaviour that directs effort …

Approximately 25% of globally reported shark catches occur in Atlantic pelagic longline
fisheries. Strong declines in shark populations have been detected in the North Atlantic …

Land-cover change often shifts the distribution of biomass in animal communities. However,
the effects of land-cover changes on functional diversity remain poorly understood for many …

The effect of variability in targeting needs to be removed from catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE)
data to estimate reliable abundance indices for multispecies fisheries. We test a Generalized …

Small-scale fisheries are major contributors to global fishing catch and to the livelihoods of
many coastal communities. However, little is known about these fisheries, the spatial …

We quantified the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in the blue shark, Prionace
glauca, found in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and investigated the potential …
