Retention Bans Are Beneficial but Insufficient to Stop Shark Overfishing
ABSTRACT Sharks are among the most threatened groups of exploited fishes, comprising common bycatch across many fisheries. Management efforts intended to safeguard threatened species have increasingly focused on retention bans to reduce bycatch mortality. However, the population effects of such measures remain unevaluated across species.

Sexual dimorphism in chain catshark, Scyliorhinus retifer (Elasmobranchii, Carcharhiniformes, Scyliorhinidae): Morphology and dermal denticles evidence [PDF]
We studied the morphological variation of the chain dogfish, Scyliorhinus retifer (Garman, 1881), to demonstrate sexual dimorphism based on 15 adult males {434–557 mm total length (TL)} and 10 adult females (437–556 mm TL) captured in the southern Gulf ...

Predicting time‐at‐depth weighted biodiversity patterns for sharks of the North Pacific
Depth is a fundamental and universal driver of ocean biogeography but it is unclear how the biodiversity patterns of larger, more mobile organisms change as a function of depth. Here, we developed a predictive biogeography model to explore how information of mobile species' depth preferences influence biodiversity patterns.

The goal of this study was to leverage existing survey technology to design and test an eDNA sampler that captures an integrated eDNA sample over the length of a deep‐water transect. We provide a biological interpretation of the resulting data, demonstrating the usefulness of such technology to understand the ocean environments, using fish species as ...

PROBLEMATIC IDENTITY OF THE SMALLEYE HAMMERHEAD (CARCHARHINIFORMES: SPHYRNA) OCCURRING IN COLOMBIA
The presence of Sphyrna tudes in Colombian waters is supported by a 506 mm total length male collected in the southernmost corner of the Caribbean Sea, the mouth of Atrato river. A short discussion on the confusing taxonomic and nomenclatural history of the smalleye hammerhead is included.

Drivers and rates of stock assessments in the United States.
Fisheries management is most effective when based on scientific estimates of sustainable fishing rates. While some simple approaches allow estimation of harvest limits, more data-intensive stock assessments are generally required to evaluate the stock's ...

Revealing elasmobranch diversity across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in the Central Tethys (Byala, Bulgaria) [PDF]
Extensive bulk-sampling of the continuous K-Pg succession at Byala (Central Tethys) provides high-resolution insights into elasmobranch responses to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction of a deep-marine environmental setting. The studied section represents
