Ontogenetic Patterns of Elemental Tracers in the Vertebrae Cartilage of Coastal and Oceanic Sharks
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 As predators, coastal and oceanic sharks play critical roles in shaping ecosystem structure and function, but most shark species are highly susceptible to population declines.

The risk assessment of Lead, Cadmium and Zinc in the two edible fishe species (Carcharhinus limbatus) and (Epinephelus coioides) of Persian Gulf in 2016 [PDF]
Pizhūhish dar Bihdāsht-i Muḥīṭ., 2018 Background and aim:With the development of coastal industries and cities, aquatic ecosystems and organisms are exposed to contaminants, especially heavy metals. Heavy metals accumulate in aquatic tissues and eventually enter the food chain and human body.

Secondary predation constrains DNA-based diet reconstruction in two threatened shark species
Scientific Reports, 2021 Increasing fishing effort, including bycatch and discard practices, are impacting marine biodiversity, particularly among slow-to-reproduce taxa such as elasmobranchs, and specifically sharks. While some fisheries involving sharks are sustainably managed,

At-vessel fishing mortality for six species of sharks caught in the northwest Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
, 2007 From 1994-2005 the Commercial Shark Fishery Observer Program (CSFOP) placed fishery observers aboard US bottom longline vessels engaged in directed fishing for sharks in the region from New Jersey to Louisiana, USA.

Population genetics of four heavily exploited shark species around the Arabian Peninsula. [PDF]
, 2015 The northwestern Indian Ocean harbors a number of larger marine vertebrate taxa that warrant the investigation of genetic population structure given remarkable spatial heterogeneity in biological characteristics such as distribution, behavior, and ...

Shark attacks in Dakar and the Cap Vert Peninsula, Senegal: low incidence despite high occurrence of potentially dangerous species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: The International Shark Attack File mentions only four unprovoked shark attacks on the coast of West Africa during the period 1828-2004, an area where high concentrations of sharks and 17 species potentially dangerous to man have been ...

Ecological drivers of shark distributions along a tropical coastline.
PLoS ONE, 2015 As coastal species experience increasing anthropogenic pressures there is a growing need to characterise the ecological drivers of their abundance and habitat use, and understand how they may respond to changes in their environment.
