Thresher sharks (Alopiidae) catch in the pelagic fisheries of Western Indonesia
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 Abstract Thresher sharks (family Alopiidae) are an evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species group. Indonesia is the world’s largest shark fishing nation, and a global priority for reducing the capture of threatened shark species.

Habitat use and diel vertical migration of bigeye thresher shark: Overlap with pelagic longline fishing gear [PDF]
Marine Environmental Research, 2015 Pelagic longliners targeting swordfish and tunas in oceanic waters regularly capture sharks as bycatch, including currently protected species as the bigeye thresher, Alopias superciliosus. Fifteen bigeye threshers were tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) in 2012-2014 in the tropical northeast Atlantic, with successful transmissions ...

Shark conservation hindered by lack of habitat protection
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Many of the world’s shark populations are in decline, indicating the need for improved conservation and management. Well managed and appropriately located marine parks and marine protected areas (MPAs) have potential to enhance shark conservation by ...

Feeding behavior and trophic interaction of three shark species in the Galapagos Marine Reserve [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 There is great concern about the future of sharks in Ecuador because of the lack of biological knowledge of most species that inhabit the region. This paper analyzes the feeding behavior of the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus), the blue shark ...

Thresher sharks use tail-slaps as a hunting strategy.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The hunting strategies of pelagic thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus) were investigated at Pescador Island in the Philippines. It has long been suspected that thresher sharks hunt with their scythe-like tails but the kinematics associated with the ...

Cleaner wrasse forage on ectoparasitic digeneans (phylum Platyhelminthes) that infect pelagic thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus) [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity, 2014 The cleaning system is a classic model for cooperative behaviour among species in which cleaner fish or shrimps remove parasites and/or dead tissue from clients that pose at stations to solicit services from them (Cote 2000). Sharks, including pelagic thresher sharks, host a variety of ectoparasites that may affect their health and fitness (Oliver et ...

Estimating Finite Rate of Population Increase for Sharks Based on Vital Parameters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The vital parameter data for 62 stocks, covering 38 species, collected from the literature, including parameters of age, growth, and reproduction, were log-transformed and analyzed using multivariate analyses.
