Global status and conservation potential of reef sharks

M. Aaron MacNeil, +131 more
- 22 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: The results reveal the profound impact that fishing has had on reef shark populations: no sharks on almost 20% of the surveyed reefs, and shark depletion was strongly related to socio-economic conditions such as the size and proximity of the nearest market, poor governance and the density of the human population.
Journal ArticleDOI

CITES-listed sharks remain among the top species in the contemporary fin trade

TL;DR: Cardeñosa et al. as discussed by the authors found that Hong Kong was the world's top legal importer of dried fins from listed sharks in 2015, but traded a relatively small volume, with a few partners, in a small number of shipments (16).
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplex real-time PCR assay to detect illegal trade of CITES-listed shark species.

TL;DR: This approach facilitates detection of illicit trade, with positive results providing probable cause to detain shipments for more robust forensic analysis and adoption of this approach can help parties meet their CITES requirements, avoiding potential international trade sanctions in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multiplex PCR mini-barcode assay to identify processed shark products in the global trade.

TL;DR: A novel multiplex PCR mini-barcode assay based on two short fragments of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene that can identify to species all sharks currently listed on the Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) and most shark species present in the international trade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic diversity and population structure of the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) in the Pacific Ocean: evidence for two evolutionarily significant units.

TL;DR: Evidence of strong population differentiation between western and eastern Pacific populations and evidence for reciprocally monophyly for organelle haplotypes and significant divergence of allele frequencies at nuclear loci are found, suggesting the existence of two Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESU) in the Pacific Ocean.
