Elasmobranch Fisheries Management Techniques
Edited by
John A. Musick and
Ramón Bonfil
This manual provides the basic information to manage shark fisheries. It
was conceived and edited by J.A. Musick and R. Bonfil under the auspices of
the IUCN Shark Specialist Group with support from the Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC). The manual is arranged sequentially in chapters from
species identification to field sampling techniques and data analysis, to
management measures. Each chapter proceeds from simple to more complex
concepts. It is the editors hope that this manual will lead to sustainable
shark fisheries and more timely implementation of the F.A.O. International
Plan of Action for Sharks.
