High post-capture survival for sharks, rays and chimaeras discarded in the main shark fishery of Australia? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Most sharks, rays and chimaeras (chondrichthyans) taken in commercial fisheries are discarded (i.e. returned to the ocean either dead or alive). Quantifying the post-capture survival (PCS) of discarded species is therefore essential for the improved ...
