The Unseen Crisis of Sharks and Rays in Senegal
This study presents a conservative quantitative assessment of shark and ray landings and trade in Senegal, revealing extensive exploitation of threatened species. Surveys at two major artisanal processing sites in the Casamance region recorded over 170,000 individuals, mostly rays, with nearly all biomass comprising species at risk of extinction, and ...

Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

Age and growth of the bigeye thresher shark,Alopias superciliosus, from the pelagic longline fisheries in the tropical northeastern Atlantic Ocean, determined by vertebral band counts [PDF]
The bigeye thresher, Alopias supercilious, is commonly caught as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries tar- geting swordfish. Little information is yet available on the biology of this species, however. As part of an ongoing study, observers sent aboard fishing vessels have been collecting set of information that includes samples of vertebrae, with the
