This study analyzes the body length and sex composition of Greenland sharks across the northern North Atlantic and demonstrates distinct demographic distribution patterns. Areas with high occurrence of adult females, juveniles, or neonates are identified allowing for pinpointing locations of high biological importance for the species listed as ...

An ecologically sound and participatory monitoring network for pan‐Arctic seabirds
Abstract In a warming Arctic, circumpolar long‐term monitoring programs are key to advancing ecological knowledge and informing environmental policies. Calls for better involvement of Arctic peoples in all stages of the monitoring process are widespread, although such transformation of Arctic science is still in its infancy.

Key Uncertainties and Modeling Needs for Managing Living Marine Resources in the Future Arctic Ocean
Abstract Emerging fishing activity due to melting ice and poleward species distribution shifts in the rapidly‐warming Arctic Ocean challenges transboundary management and requires proactive governance. A 2021 moratorium on commercial fishing in the Arctic high seas provides a 16‐year runway for improved scientific understanding.

Abstract Elasmobranchs are facing global decline, and so there is a pressing need for research into their populations to inform effective conservation and management strategies. Little information exists on the population ecology of skate species around the British Isles, presenting an important knowledge gap that this study aimed to reduce.
