Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Shark nursery habitats are priority targets for area‐based conservation as they protect key age classes that exhibit restricted area use. However, the lack of detailed, species‐specific biological and ecological data often undermines the efficacy of coastal management strategies. This study employed complementary Baited Remote Underwater Video

Analysis of permanent magnets as elasmobranch bycatch reduction devices in hook-and-line and longline trials [PDF]
, 2011 Previous studies indicate that elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates and rays) detect the Earth’s geomagnetic field by indirect magnetoreception through electromagnetic induction, using their ampullae of Lorenzini. Applying this concept, we evaluated the

Anthropogenic disturbance modifies spatial patterns of reef sharks
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Species‐specific sensitivities mean that non‐extractive human presence can strongly reshape reef predator distributions even where fishing pressure is limited. Integrating tourism intensity and coastal development into marine spatial planning is therefore essential for reef shark conservation, and combining ecological surveys with open‐source social ...

Antibiotic susceptibilities of bacteria isolated within the oral flora of Florida blacktip sharks: guidance for empiric antibiotic therapy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Sharks possess a variety of pathogenic bacteria in their oral cavity that may potentially be transferred into humans during a bite. The aim of the presented study focused on the identification of the bacteria present in the mouths of live blacktip sharks,

The Dynamic Nature of Nearshore Shark Nurseries in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Some habitats serve particularly important functions for wildlife. Identifying and appropriately managing these ‘essential habitats’ is critical, especially for wildlife that have faced severe population declines like sharks. Nursery habitats aid in the survival and development of juvenile sharks, which until recently were not formally ...

Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Finfish Bycatch in the U.S. Atlantic Bottom Longline Shark Fishery [PDF]
, 2010 Bycatch in U.S. fisheries has become an increasingly important issue to both fisheries managers and the public, owing to the wide range of marine resources that can be involved. From 2002 to 2006, the Commercial Shark Fishery Observer Program (CSFOP) and
