From Data Deficient to Big Data in Shark Conservation

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 977-990, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Citizen science is increasingly harnessed worldwide to gather data otherwise requiring a prohibitive investment of funding and time. Meanwhile, the revolution in digital communication offers opportunities from crowdsourcing, big data approaches and social network mining to quickly and cost‐effectively fill major gaps in knowledge necessary to ...

DNA Divers: Volunteer‐based eDNA capture for local and global marine biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2431-2447, October 2025.
Abstract Volunteer‐based biodiversity recording is a powerful source of scalable data yet to be used to its full potential by the scientific community. Coastal ecosystems are varied and diverse, making it difficult for managers to identify flexible methods for monitoring biological components.

Limited Evidence for Depth Specialism in Isolated Seamount Reef Predators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated how depth influences predatory fish assemblages on seamount reefs in the Coral Sea using remotely operated vehicle surveys across a 100 m depth gradient. Predator abundance and species richness declined significantly with depth; yet assemblage composition remained largely consistent, suggesting many taxa utilise a broad depth range ...

Exploring practical conservation measures for pelagic thresher sharks using local knowledge in Sunda Banda seascape

Frontiers in Ocean Sustainability
The pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) is an evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species, with population declines primarily attributed to targeted fishing and bycatch in both small-scale and industrial fisheries. As the world's largest shark fishing nation, Indonesia is a global priority for pelagic thresher shark conservation ...

First Report of Echthrogaleus denticulatus (Smith 1874) on the Pelagic Thresher Shark (Alopias pelagicus Nakamura 1935) from Indian EEZ of Andaman Sea

Sains Malaysiana, 2017
The present study reports the occurrence of the pandarid parasite, Echthrogaleus denticulatus as an ectoparasite on the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) from the Indian EEZ of Andaman Sea. A total of 36 parasite specimens were found aggregated near the cloacal aperture of eight pelagic thresher sharks caught as bycatch by multifilament tuna ...

Retention Bans Are Beneficial but Insufficient to Stop Shark Overfishing

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 473-487, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Sharks are among the most threatened groups of exploited fishes, comprising common bycatch across many fisheries. Management efforts intended to safeguard threatened species have increasingly focused on retention bans to reduce bycatch mortality. However, the population effects of such measures remain unevaluated across species.

Coexistence, resource partitioning, and fisheries management: A tale of two mesopredators in equatorial waters

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 1377-1399, May 2025.
Abstract Rock hind (Epinephelus adscensionis) and spotted moray (Gymnothorax moringa) are ubiquitous mesopredators that co‐occur in the nearshore waters of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, where they have significant cultural and subsistence value, but management of their non‐commercial take is limited.

A Review of the Status of Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras of Panama to Guide Research and Conservation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are a group of high conservation concern globally. Species are impacted by varying threats, although fishing pressure is the primary stressor causing population declines. Panama comprises both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines with a diversity of estuarine and marine habitats supporting small ...
