Research priorities to support effective manta and devil ray conservation
Manta and devil rays are filter-feeding elasmobranchs that are found circumglobally in
tropical and subtropical waters. Although relatively understudied for most of the Twentieth …

Comparative population genomics confirms little population structure in two commercially targeted carcharhinid sharks
Many shark species are at risk of overexploitation due to their high economic value, slow
maturation, and low recruitment compared to most teleosts. However, there is insufficient …

Stock status and reference points for sharks using data‐limited methods and life history
Worldwide, many shark populations are classified as data poor, making it difficult to assess
their status. However, for many sharks, their longevity, late maturation and low production of …

Novel multimarker comparisons address the genetic population structure of silvertip sharks (Carcharhinus albimarginatus)
The silvertip shark (Carcharhinus albimarginatus) is a reef-associated shark, with an
intermittent distribution across the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Owing to global declines, the species …

Metabarcoding for authentication of fish species in surimi-based products by Nanopore sequencing
Surimi and surimi-based products are at risk of being substituted by less valuable fish for
economic gain. Therefore, the techniques for the authentication of fish species used in …

Can multi‐species shark longline fisheries be managed sustainably using size limits? Theoretically, yes. Realistically, no
Size limits are a common fisheries management strategy that are applied to many fisheries
and species. Most size limits use a minimum legal size to protect adult fish as per the …

Evaluation of Biological Reference Points for Conservation and Management of the Bigeye Thresher Shark, Alopias superciliosus, in the Northwest Pacific
Full stock assessment of sharks is usually hindered by a lack of long time-series catch and
effort data. In these circumstances, demographic and per-recruit analyses may provide …
