Marine fish life history strategies: applications to fishery management (2003, background): “Management options in mixed fisheries should account for the vulnerability of the less productive species and precautionary quotas and bycatch limits should be established (Musick et al. 2000).”
Reassessing the value of nursery areas to shark conservation and management (2009, background): “The life history traits of many shark species, including large body size, slow growth, late maturity, and low fecundity, make them particularly vulnerable to overfishing and other anthropogenic threats (Musick et al. 2000; Frisk et al. 2005).”
Evaluating marine protected areas for the conservation of tropical coastal sharks (2012, background): “Understanding how protective measures can be implemented for sharks will be crucial for the persistence of their populations, and to date most effort has been focused on creating and improving existing fisheries management frameworks (e.g. Musick et al., 2000; Barker and Schluessel, 2005).”
Habitat use, residency, and seasonal distribution of female leopard sharks Triakis semifasciata in Elkhorn Slough, California (2009, background): “As upper trophic level predators in these ecosystems, they likely play an important role in maintaining the composition and stability of food webs as has been demonstrated in other ecosystems (Musick et al. 2000, Stevens et al. 2000, Bascompte et al. 2005).”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “…exploitation (i.e. relatively slow growth rates, late sexual maturity and reproduction, low fecundity and long gestation periods; Compagno 1990, Cortes 2000) can lead to slow population growth and limit compensatory responses to exploitation for some species (Musick et al. 2000, Field et al. 2009).”
Global catches, exploitation rates, and rebuilding options for sharks (2013, background): “This trend has been particularly pronounced for sharks, largely due to their inherent vulnerability, and an increasing demand, particularly for their fins, in the Asian market [1–4].”
conservation of freshwater and euryhaline elasmobranchs: a review (2005, neutral): “…is well established (Holden, 1974; Brander, 1981; Thorson, 1982a; Compagno, 1990a; Manire & Gruber, 1990; Bon¢l, 1994; Camhi et al., 1998; Casey & Myers, 1998; Hueter, 1998; Dulvy et al., 2000; Musick et al., 2000; Stevens et al., 2000; Fowler et al., 2002; Baum et al., 2003; Baum & Myers, 2004).”
Movements and site fidelity of the giant manta ray, Manta birostris, in the Komodo Marine Park, Indonesia (2008, background): “While elasmobranchs are generally considered highly susceptible to over Wshing due to their natural history (Musick 1999; Musick et al. 2000), mantas are likely even at greater risk given their very low reproductive rates (one or two pups per year), generally small population sizes and potentially…”
Shark interactions in pelagic longline fisheries (2008, background): “turtles, sharks(2) and other fish species are particularly sensitive to increased mortality above natural levels due to their life history traits, including being long-lived, having delayed maturity and having low reproductive rates [9,12,18,19].”
Effects of recreational and commercial fishing on blue sharks (Prionace glauca) in Atlantic Canada, with inferences on the North Atlantic population (2006, background): “A recent policy statement by the American Fisheries Society noted that most elasmobranch populations decline more rapidly and recover less quickly than do other fish populations (Musick et al. 2000).”
Is it good or bad to fish with FADs? What are the real impacts of the use of drifting FADs on pelagic marine ecosystems? (2013, background): “In the same ocean, Oshitani (2000) estimated that purse seiners caught an order of magnitude fewer silky sharks than longliners in the 1990s.”
Comparative feeding ecology of four sympatric skate species off central California, USA (2007, background): “Overfishing and habitat destruction, however, have greatly reduced many elasmobranch populations and impacted their ecological value over broad regions (Musick et al. 2000; Stevens et al. 2000).”
