Immediate and delayed changes to survival, physiology, reproduction and movement of chondrichthyans following capture stress [ 2011 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Reina Dr Richard D; Dr Terence I Walker

Brief description Many sharks and rays are negatively affected by the impact of fisheries capture, with unknown consequences. The project will measure changes to survival, physiology, reproduction and behaviour following capture to better understand and manage the impact of fisheries on these animals. This information is vital for their effective conservation.
