Sharks, rays and chimaeras : the status of the chondrichthyan fishes
George H. Burgess,Gregor M. Cailliet,Merry Camhi,Rachel D. Cavanagh,Sonja V. Fordham,Sarah L. Fowler,John A. Musick,Colin A. Simpfendorfer +7 more
TL;DR: The IUCN Shark Specialist Group has compiled a Global Status Report for Chondrichthyan Fishes (the Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras), with Red List assessments for over 100 species and regional reports on the status of shark fisheries, together with information on taxonomy; life history; trade; socio-economics; threats; and conservation and management initiatives as mentioned in this paper.

Overview of the conservation status of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyans) in the Mediterranean Sea
TL;DR: The third report in the series of Mediterranean Red List Assessments presents the findings of an expert workshop at which 71 Mediterranean species of sharks, rays and chimaeras (cartilaginous fishes) were assessed using the IUCN Red List categories and criteria as discussed by the authors.
