Small-scale fisheries catch more threatened elasmobranchs inside partially protected areas than in unprotected areas
Elasmobranchs are heavily impacted by fishing. Catch statistics are grossly underestimated
due to missing data from various fishery sectors such as small-scale fisheries. Marine …

Integrating acoustic telemetry into mark–recapture models to improve the precision of apparent survival and abundance estimates
Capture–mark–recapture models are useful tools for estimating demographic parameters
but often result in low precision when recapture rates are low. Low recapture rates are …
