Virtually every pelagic shark expert in the world has contributed to this landmark publication which includes the latest data and knowledge on pelagic shark biology, fisheries, management, and conservation. Pelagic sharks face unprecedented levels of exploitation in all the world's oceans through both direct fisheries and by-catch, and effective management for these species is contingent upon solid science and data, which this book brings together for the first tim 410 0$aFish and aquatic resources series ;$v13. 606 $aSharks 606 $aShark fisheries 606 $aSharks$xConservation 615 0$aSharks. 615 0$aShark fisheries. 615 0$aSharks$xConservation. 676 $a597.3 701 $aCamhi$b Merry$0955851 701 $aPikitch$b Ellen K$0955852 701 $aBabcock$b Elizabeth A$0955853 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910877385503321 996 $aSharks of the open ocean$92163529 997 $aUNINA
