TL;DR: The Living Planet Index (LPI) is a measure of changes in abundance aggregated from 57 abundance time-series datasets for 18 oceanic shark and ray species and the Red List Index (Red List Index) is calculated for all 31 oceanic species of sharks and rays.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first global reassessment of 1,199 species in Class Chondrichthyes (sharks, rays, and chimeras) and conclude that overfishing is the universal threat affecting all 391 threatened species and is the sole threat for 67.3% of species and interacts with three other threats for the remaining third: loss and degradation of habitat (31.2% of threatened species), climate change (10.2%), and pollution (6.9%).

TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian state-space model (BSSM) coupled with expert knowledge at IUCN Red List workshops is used to combine regional abundance data into indices of global population change.

TL;DR: In this paper , a continuous Red List Index of yearly changes in extinction risk over 70 years was calculated to track progress toward global sustainability and biodiversity targets, showing that this well-established biodiversity indicator is highly sensitive and responsive to fishing mortality.
