Sharks in Patagonia
In coastal Patagonia, Argentina, an unknown number of species of sharks are caught in bottom trawl nets, and are discarded dead at sea. Seven species of sharks were caught in 264 of 454 trawls, made by Patagonian coastal fisheries (41° to 52° South) that we analysed between 1993 and 1996. We are interested to exchange information, experience and ideas on sharks and coastal fisheries. Please contact Guillermo Caille diztw@internet.siscotel.com
