A closer look at the bycatch of medium‐sized and large sharks in the northern Catalan coast (north‐western Mediterranean Sea): Evidence of an ongoing decline?
Abstract Historically, the Mediterranean Sea supported a rich shark fauna. Presently,
however, populations of most shark species have significantly declined, largely due to …
