A global review of species-specific shark-fin-to-body-mass ratios and relevant legislation.
@article{Biery2012AGR, title={A global review of species-specific shark-fin-to-body-mass ratios and relevant legislation.}, author={L. Biery and D. Pauly}, journal={Journal of fish biology}, year={2012}, volume={80 5}, pages={ 1643-77 } }
In this review, shark-fin-to-body-mass ratios, which have been legislated by several countries as a means of regulating and monitoring shark fisheries, have been compiled and reviewed. Observed and legislated wet-fin-mass-to-round-mass (M(fw) :M(r) ) ratios have been collected for 50 species and eight countries. Wet to dry-fin mass conversion factors have also been reviewed. Existing shark fishery legislation was compiled by political entity and regional fishery management organizations (RFMO… CONTINUE READING
