The #Bocadolça project has been carried out at the Faculty of Biology from the University of Barcelona, Institut de Recerca de la Biodiversitat (IRBio_UB), and has been supported by the Fundació Zoo de Barcelona and the Barcelona City Council. Illustrated version of the protocol: Vanessa Rovira.

Additionally, we’ve also set up a handling protocol for individuals that are caught by trawl and trammel nets to minimise their at-vessel and post-release mortality. This protocol has been designed in collab with the fishermen and an illustrated version has been created to be used on board. (2/3)

Hey Johann. We’ve talked to the fishermen and we do have a few nore details. Any email address we could reach out to so we can share the info?

Though we still need to work on proper reporting of discards, the study concludes sharks and rays represent little to no revenue for Mediterranean fleets.

Oh no.

The wave of rising shark & ray extinction risk #GlobalSharkTrends
👉 started in rivers, estuaries, nearshore coastal waters
👉 before rapidly expanding out across the oceans.
Lower risk only in harder-to-fish nearshore habitats, ie,
👉 Kelp/algal reefs
👉 Rocky reefs, &
👉 Deepsea

Really nice paper guys!

Nice! How long is an adult S.corona?

And now the fun bit. To any of the authors, if you ever read this: I was there in summer 2014 with the OR team as an intern. Got to take part in your experiment for a couple days and it was fun to finally read the results. I even have my own "Figure 1A" :D
