Area-based conservation is essential to safeguard declining biodiversity. Several
approaches have been developed for identifying networks of globally important areas based …

The expanding shark fin market has resulted in intensive global shark fishing and with 90%
of teleost fish stocks over-exploited, sharks have become the most lucrative target. As …

Elasmobranchs, including sharks, rays, and skates, are a global protein source but face
threats from overfishing and population declines. Despite their lower market value …

Despite increasing threats of extinction to Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), whole genome-
based conservation insights are lacking. Here, we present chromosome-level genome …

The shortfin mako shark is a large‐bodied pursuit predator thought to be capable of the

Shark fin is one of Asia's most valued dried seafood products, with over 80 shark species
traded in Hong Kong [HK]. We analyzed processed shark fins from mainland China and HK …

The threat of population declines caused by pelagic longline fisheries in the Atlantic has
increased the concern to find strategies that minimize the bycatch and mortality of non-target …

Sharks developed life history traits that make them susceptible to overfishing. This is, in turn,
a risk for extinction, and several species are affected. The high price of shark fins in the …

Highly mobile apex predators such as the shortfin mako shark (mako shark; Isurus
oxyrinchus) serve an important role in the marine ecosystem, and despite their declining …

The multispecific and highly dynamic nature of pelagic longline fisheries demands a holistic
view that will likely benefit the development of effective management strategies. This study …
