• The thin edge of the wedge: extremely high extinction risk in wedgefishes and giant guitarfishes (2019, background): “The shallow, inshore soft-bottom habitat preferred by the species is threatened by habitat loss and environmental degradation (Jabado et al., 2017; Moore, 2017; Moore, McCarthy, Carvalho, & Peirce, 2012; Stobutzki et al., 2006; White & Sommerville, 2010).”
• Troubled waters: Threats and extinction risk of the sharks, rays and chimaeras of the Arabian Sea and adjacent waters (2018, background): “…giant guitarfishes have high value fins, among the most prized in the shark fin market, and this demand has driven major declines in populations in less than a decade (Clarke, Magnussen, Abercrombie, McAllister, & Shivji, 2006; Mohanraj, Rajapackiam, Mohan, Batcha, & Gomathy, 2009; Moore, 2017).”
