A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, background): “An increasing number of studies worldwide have demonstrated rapid declines of large sharks over the last decades due to over-fishing practices (Baum et al., 2003; Myers and Worm, 2005; Dulvy et al., 2008; Ferretti et al., 2008, 2010).”
Increased knowledge about sharks increases public concern about their conservation (2015, background): “Shark populations worldwide are declining and nearly one quarter of shark species are considered vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered by the IUCN [1].”
Vulnerabilities and fisheries impacts: The uncertain future of manta and devil rays (2016, background): “capacity it is likely that even low catch rates can result in significant population declines (Dulvy et al., 2008; Camhi et al., 2009).”
Movements of the reef manta ray (Manta alfredi) in the Red Sea using satellite and acoustic telemetry (2015, background): “Global elasmobranch populations have experienced major declines over the last several decades (Dulvy et al. 2008; Ferretti et al. 2010) with an estimated 17 % of shark and ray species listed as critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable to extinction (IUCN 2015).”
From traits to life‐history strategies: Deconstructing fish community composition across European seas (2017, background): “…relationship is expected, as equilibrium species, e.g. sharks and rays, are particularly vulnerable to 393 fishing and habitat disturbance due to their low productivity arising from their life history characteristics, 394 e.g. low fecundity and slow growth (Dulvy et al. 2008, Sguotti et al. 2016).”
Global economic value of shark ecotourism: implications for conservation (2013, background): “The near-exponential growth of global fishing capacity,coupled with high rates of bycatch and relatively slow population recovery rates, has resulted in the large-scale depletion of shark populations worldwide (Smith et al., 1998; Bonfil et al., 2005; Dulvy et al., 2008).”
Population genetics of Australian white sharks reveals fine-scale spatial structure, transoceanic dispersal events and low effective population sizes (2012, background): “White sharks Mar Ecol Prog Ser 455: 229–244, 2012 exemplify these traits (Smith et al. 1998, Bruce 2008, Dulvy et al. 2008), the species is slow to mature (7 to 9 yr [males]; 12 to 17 yr [females]), has low fecundity (litter size: 2 to 12), has infrequent reproduction (every 2 to 3 yr), a long…”
Report card on ecosystem-based fisheries management in tuna regional fisheries management organizations (2018, background): “We note that the status of oceanic pelagic sharks is highly unfavourable and indeed there are signs that the status of some may be rapidly worsening (Clarke, Harley, Hoyle, & Rice, 2013; Dulvy et al., 2008; Gilman, Owens, & Kraft, 2014a).”
Stable isotope analysis as a tool for elasmobranch conservation research: a primer for non-specialists (2012, background): “However, many species of sharks, skates and rays are experiencing population declines, primarily due to overfishing, by-catch, pollution and habitat degradation (Dulvy et al. 2008; Lucifora et al. 2011; Gallagher et al. 2012).”
Satellite tagging of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and other pelagic sharks off eastern Australia: depth behaviour, temperature experience and movements (2010, neutral): “There is increasing concern over the status of pelagic shark populations and an urgent requirement for better catch data collection and information on their biology and behaviour to aid management and ensure sustainable use of these resources (Dulvy et al. 2008).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “Australia, to investigate the potential for tiger sharks, the apex predator in the ecosystem, to have an impact on their largebodied prey through non-consumptive (‘risk’) effects.”
Global shark currency: the distribution, frequency, and economic value of shark ecotourism (2011, background): “Despite their general popularity among tourists, the numbers of threatened and endangered species (notably marine species) continues to rise (IUCN, 2009 ; Liu, 1994); and marine apex-predators, particularly sharks, have experienced population declines globally in the last few decades (Baum et al, ”
Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays (2013, background): “…only for a part of the geographic range; (2) regional trend data or stock assessments are highly uncertain; (3) the species is data-poor in some other regions; (4) the species is subject to some form of management in other regions; and, (5) the species is moderately productive (Dulvy et al., 2008).”
