It is certain, however, that such diverse group (sharks, skates and rays) with representatives revisions will clarify our view of the taxonomy and phylogeny in all types of environments, from fresh waters to the bottom (evolutionary relationships) of elasmobranchs, leading to a of marine trenches and from polar regions to warm tropical better understanding of how these creatures evolved.

This document is an update of the information submitted in 2017 in response to Notification 2017/031. The Australian Government is committed to the sustainable use of fisheries resources and the conservation of marine ecosystems and biodiversity. In particular, we are committed to the conservation of shark species in Australian waters and on the high seas. The Australian Government manages some fisheries directly, others are managed by state and territory governments. The Australian Government also regulates the export of commercially harvested marine species. Australia cooperates internationally to protect sharks by implementing our Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) obligations, and by working with regional fisheries management organisations on the management of internationally straddling and highly migratory stocks. For more information on Australia’s fisheries management and international cooperation see the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy’s fisheries webpages at http://www.environment.gov.au/marine/fisheries.

The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation.

  • Species Composition of the Largest Shark Fin Retail-Market in Mainland
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Species composition of the largest shark fn retail‑market in mainland China Diego Cardeñosa1,2*, Andrew T. Fields1, Elizabeth A. Babcock3, Stanley K. H. Shea4, Kevin A. Feldheim5 & Demian D. Chapman6 Species‑specifc monitoring through large shark fn market surveys has been a valuable data source to estimate global catches and international shark fn trade dynamics. Hong Kong and Guangzhou, mainland China, are the largest shark fn markets and consumption centers in the world. We used molecular identifcation protocols on randomly collected processed fn trimmings (n = 2000) and non‑ parametric species estimators to investigate the species composition of the Guangzhou retail market and compare the species diversity between the Guangzhou and Hong Kong shark fn retail markets. Species diversity was similar between both trade hubs with a small subset of species dominating the composition. The blue shark (Prionace glauca) was the most common species overall followed by the CITES‑listed silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis), scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini), smooth hammerhead shark (S. zygaena) and shortfn mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus). Our results support previous indications of high connectivity between the shark fn markets of Hong Kong and mainland China and suggest that systematic studies of other fn trade hubs within Mainland China and stronger law‑enforcement protocols and capacity building are needed. Many shark populations have declined in the last four decades, mainly due to overexploitation to supply the demand for their fns in Asia and meat in many other countries 1–4. Mainland China was historically the world’s second largest importer of shark fns and foremost consumer of shark fn soup, yet very little is known about the species composition of shark fns in this trade hub2.

    Published Date: 1 March 2019 Leafscale Gulper Shark, Centrophorus squamosus Report Card Undefined Stock assessment IUCN Red List IUCN Red List Refer to Global Australian Global Vulnerable Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessors White, W.T. & Graham, K.J. Sensitive to fishing pressure with some catches in Australia but Report Card Remarks uncertainty over stock status Summary The Leafscale Gulper Shark is a deepwater dogfish with a global distribution. Its flesh and livers are marketed in varying quantities over much of the species' range. Most targeted fishing pressure is in the northeast Atlantic where it is an important component of deepwater fisheries and declines of Source: CSIRO National Fish Collection. License: CC BY Attribution >80% have been reported. Catches of the species off Australia are relatively low and do not represent a significant component of deepwater catches. However, significant declines in closely related species in southeast Australia led to management measures to promote recovery of deepwater dogfish populations, such as catch limits and a ban on trawling below 700 m. The Leafscale Gulper Shark has intrinsically very low productivity, evident in significant population declines where it is heavily fished. Therefore, the species is assessed as globally Vulnerable (IUCN) and in Australia, Undefined Stock (SAFS) because the information is uncertain and insufficient to assess the Australian fish stock status. Distribution The Leafscale Gulper Shark occurs sporadically in the eastern Atlantic (Iceland to South Africa), in the Indian Ocean (South Africa and the Aldabra Islands), and the western Pacific (Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia); a recent capture off the Galapagos Island extended the range to the eastern central Pacific (Acuna-Marrero et al.

On the basis of one specimen, a fossil shark tooth discovered in the Middle Miocene Iseyama Formation (Northern Fossa Magna Region) in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, central Japan, Squaliomicrus differs markedly from related genera Dalatias Rafinesque 1810, Euprotomicrus Gill 1864, Isistius Gill 1864, Squaliolus Smith and Radcliffe 1912, Acrosqualiolus Adnet 2000, Eosqualiolus Adnet 2000, Squaliodalatias Adnet, Capetta and Reynders 2006 and Angoumeius Adnet, Cappetta and Reynders 2006 in the Family Dalatiidae and in the Squaliformes incertae familiae by the following lower tooth characters : tooth width larger than height, present upper axial foramen, absent basal notch, distal apron reaching the basal end, present median labial hollow with groove situated inside, and a distinct distal depression presents on the labial face. Judging from these differences in dental characters, this specimen is regarded as probably an undescribed species. This paper constitutes the first discovery and description of the new genus Squaliomicrus belonging to the Family Dalatiidae in the Miocene of Japan. Key words : Squaliomicrus sanadaensis, Dalatiidae, Middle Miocene,
