There is a need to better understand the survivorship of discarded fishes, both for
commercial stocks and species of conservation concern. Within European waters, the …

For centuries, the primary manner in which humans have interacted with sharks has been
fishing. A combination of their slow-growing nature and high use-values have resulted in …

Robust assessments of the effects of fishing require accounting for components of fishing
mortality, including post‐release fishing mortality (Fr). Random‐effects meta‐analysis …

Bycatch mortality is a major factor contributing to shark population declines. Post-release
mortality (PRM) is particularly difficult to quantify, limiting the accuracy of stock assessments …

Apex and mesopredators such as elasmobranchs are important for maintaining ocean
health and are the focus of conservation efforts to mitigate exposure to fishing and other …

Accounting for components of fishing mortality, including post-release mortality (F r), is
necessary for robust assessments of the effects of fishing. Forty-eight blue (Prionace glauca) …

The blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) is the most commonly captured species in the
Florida recreational shark fishery. We aimed to quantify the postrelease mortality of blacktip …

In both commercial and recreational fisheries, sharks are captured and released alive to
comply with regulations or due to low economic value or voluntary conservation ethic. As a …

A new geological epoch, the “Anthropocene”, has been defined as the period in which
humans have had substantial geological and ecological influence on the planet. A positive …

The response to capture is important in fisheries because it can reveal potential threats to
species beyond fishing mortalities resulting from direct harvest. To date, the vast majority of …
