Low worldwide genetic diversity in the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus).
The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is found in temperate waters throughout the world's oceans, and has been subjected to extensive exploitation in some regions. However, little is known about its current abundance and genetic status. Here, we investigate the diversity of the mitochondrial DNA control region among samples from the western North Atlantic, eastern North Atlantic, Mediterranean...
متن کاملSieving a living: a review of the biology, ecology and conservation status of the plankton-feeding basking shark Cetorhinus maximus.
The basking shark Cetorhinus maximus is the world's second largest fish reaching lengths up to 12 m and weighing up to 4 tonnes. It inhabits warm-temperate to boreal waters circumglobally and has been the subject of fisheries exploitation for at least 200 years. There is current concern over its population levels as a consequence of directed harpoon and net fisheries that in the north-east Atla...

متن کاملVertical and Horizontal Movements of the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark (sphyrna Lewini) around Malpelo and Cocos Islands (tropical Eastern Pacific) Using Satellite Telemetry
Understanding distribution ranges and the daily movement patterns of pelagic fishes are key aspects for the establishment and planning of protected areas for their conservation. In this study the vertical and horizontal movements of scalloped hammerhead sharks, Sphyrna lewini, were recorded in Malpelo and Cocos Island using satellite telemetry. Nine sharks were tagged with satellite transmitter...
