Abstract:

Effective fisheries conservation remains challenging due to overfishing and complex population structure of highly migratory species. Sharks and tunas migrate across international management regions and are captured, either accidentally as bycatch, or intentionally in commercial or recreational fisheries. Developing technology that can decrease shark bycatch and refining chemical tracer methods to elucidate population structure of fished stocks, will enhance fisheries conservation. Here, case studies will highlight the testing of shark bycatch technology and the application of natural chemical tags in migratory fish to support sustainable management and fisheries conservation.
