• Aggregations and offshore movements as indicators of spawning activity of bonefish (Albula vulpes) in The Bahamas (2011, background): “…nature of many spawning aggregations, the modiWcation and destruction of coastal habitats could also negatively aVect movements to spawning sites, spawning behavior, and ultimately the sustainability of Wsh stocks (Turner et al. 1999; Musick et al. 2000; Roberts et al. 2002; Claydon 2004).”
• Can We Study Sturgeons to Extinction? What We Do and Don't Know about the Conservation of North American Sturgeons (2002, background): “In North America, sturgeons were only second to marine Sebastes (Scorpaenidae) in the number of species categorized as either threatened or endangered (Musick et al. 2000).”
• Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays (2013, background): “In response to concerns that IUCN decline thresholds are too low and risk false alarms, the American Fisheries Society (AFS) developed alternate decline criteria (Musick, 1999a) to classify North American marine fish populations (Musick et al., 2000).”
• Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the diet and daily ration of the bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo, from the eastern Gulf of Mexico (2007, background): “The higher trophic levels occupied by sharks in conjunction with some recent declines in a number of their populations (Musick et al. 2000; Cortés 2004) have increased interest in investigating the impacts that fishery removals of sharks can have on marine ecosystems.”
• Small fish, big fish, red fish, blue fish: size-biased extinction risk of the world's freshwater and marine fishes. (2007, background): “Species groups such as the chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, skates and rays) are examples of large-bodied fishes that show greater susceptibility to over-harvesting and limited potential for recovery (Jennings et al., 1998; Musick et al., 2000; Hutchings & Reynolds, 2004).”
• Marine Migration of North American Green Sturgeon (2008, background): “More generally, our poor understanding of the basic biology and demography of green sturgeon impedes effective management, which adds to the concern for their conservation ( Rochard et al. 1990 ; Bemis and Kynard 1997 ; Musick et al.”
• Limited potential to recover from overfishing raises concerns for deep-sea sharks, rays and chimaeras (2009, background): “All but a few of the intrinsic rebound potentials calculated, irrespective of whether they were conservative or optimistic, fell in the range considered to be very low (<0.05 yr−1; Musick et al. 2001).”
• Status, trends and management of sturgeon and paddlefish fisheries (2005, background): “Spawning populations were thought to be small (Musick et al. 2000), but research in the Rogue River (northern population segment) suggests populations are larger than previously thought (Erickson et al. 2002).”
