ICES Study Group on Elasmobranch Fishes
The ICES Study Group on Elasmobranch Fishes met in Copenhagen
at the end of May 1997. It has produced a report covering aspects of
the biology of deep-water sharks, the blue shark, spurdog and a case
study on the population dynamics of skates and rays in the North Sea.
The layout and text of three posters were presented, which will aid
in the identification of skates, skate wings and deep-water sharks.
The report also contains an Appendix covering recent initiatives in
elasmobranch research and conservation. This report was presented
at the ICES Annual Science Meeting in Baltimore, USA, in September
1997 and reported to ICES ACFM (Advisory Committee for Fisheries
Management) in October. The Study Group will work by
correspondence in 1998 and will present the ensuing report at the
1998 Annual Science Meeting, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, in
September of that year.
