The complete mitochondrial genome of the big-eye thresher shark was sequenced using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method. The total length of mitochondrial DNA is 16,719 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 replication origin region and 1 control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of the big-eye thresher shark is the same as the on...

A more medial and anterior position of the red aerobic myotomal muscle (RM) and the presence of a vascular counter-current heat exchange system provide the functional elements that facilitate regional RM endothermy in tunas, lamnid sharks and the common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus). The convergent RM morphology among all species capable of RM endothermy suggests that RM position is a stron...

Thresher sharks are known to have substantial economic value. They caught globally as target and bycatch in tuna fisheries. Due their declining population, they listed an appendix II species on CITES, therefore any form of trade fisheries related the been nationally internationally regulated. However, information thresher shark Bali is still limited. This study aims socio-economically character...
