Journal ArticleDOI

Multispecies fisheries management and conservation: tactical applications using models of intermediate complexity

TL;DR: This work describes and review ‘Models of Intermediate Complexity for Ecosystem assessments’ (MICE) that have a tactical focus, including use as ecosystem assessment tools and indicates opportunities for the development of further applications and identifies the major challenges to broad adoption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urea based osmoregulation and endocrine control in elasmobranch fish with special reference to euryhalinity.

TL;DR: Gradual acclimation of marine dwelling elasmobranchs to varying environmental salinities under laboratory conditions has demonstrated that these fish do have the capacity to acclimate to changes in salinity through independent regulation of Na(+), Cl(-) and urea levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elasmobranchs in southern Indonesian fisheries: the fisheries, the status of the stocks and management options

TL;DR: The results indicate strongly that many of the shark and ray species in Indonesia are overfished and that the most effective management strategy may need to involve capacity control, such as licencing, gear restrictions and catch limits, together with controls on the fin trade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma osmolyte concentrations and rectal gland mass of bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas, captured along a salinity gradient.

TL;DR: Bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) were captured across a salinity gradient from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW) and hyperosmotic to the environment, with plasma osmolarity significantly reduced and rectal gland mass compared to FW animals significantly reduced.
