Bioindicator species are increasingly valuable in environmental pollution monitoring, and
elasmobranch species include many suitable candidates for that role. By measuring …

Bycatch mortality is a major factor contributing to shark population declines. Post-release
mortality (PRM) is particularly difficult to quantify, limiting the accuracy of stock assessments …

Until relatively recently commercial fisheries have been considered the main driving factor
for elasmobranch population declines. However, this belief has begun to shift with the …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have recently been proposed to be more relevant in driving
population changes than the continuous increase in average temperatures associated with …

Reported here are the relationships among morphological (ie., body condition) and
biochemical (ie., plasma concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol, free fatty acids, and …

ABSTRACT Prior to the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, little research effort was focused
on studying deep-sea sharks in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). While the biology of these fishes …

Background Human actions have altered natural ecosystems worldwide. Among the many
pollutants released to the environment, ionizing radiation can cause severe damage at …

The increasing frequency and duration of marine heatwaves attributed to climate change
threatens coastal elasmobranchs and may exacerbate existing anthropogenic stressors …

Fishing is the major threat to marine fish populations, particularly to higher trophic‐level
predators such as sharks. Many sharks, and other fish, are caught as commercial by‐catch …

Understanding how reef-associated sharks use coastal waters through their ontogeny is
important for their effective conservation and management. This study used the horizontal …
