Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of the Pelagic Thresher Shark (Alopias pelagicus) in the Pacific Ocean: Evidence for Two Evolutionarily Significant Units [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There has been an increasing concern about shark overexploitation in the last decade, especially for open ocean shark species, where there is a paucity of data about their life histories and population dynamics.

Vertical movements of a pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus): insights into the species’ physiological limitations and trophic ecology in the Red Sea [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2020 The pelagic thresher shark Alopias pelagicus is an understudied elasmobranch harvested in commercial fisheries of the tropical Indo-Pacific. The species is endangered, overexploited throughout much of its range, and has a decreasing population trend ...

Genetic identification of three CITES-listed sharks using a paper-based Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC). [PDF]
PLoS ONEThreatened shark species are caught in large numbers by artisanal and commercial fisheries and traded globally. Monitoring both which shark species are caught and sold in fisheries, and the export of CITES-restricted products, are essential in reducing ...

Trophic shift in the diet of the pelagic thresher shark based on stomach contents and stable isotope analyses [PDF]
Marine Biology Research, 2013 The trophic ecology of the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) was analysed using stomach contents and carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope analysis. The sharks were caught in Ecuadorian waters between June and December 2003. Approximately 24 prey species were found in the stomachs of 111 sharks.

Parasite community of the pelagic thresher Alopias pelagicus (Lamniformes) as additional indicator of trophic network status and functioning [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe majority of marine parasites are trophically transmitted, exhibiting a complex life cycle, thus, parasite communities investigation is a valuable source of information on trophic network status.
