Abstract:Elasmobranchs are being depleted on a global scale, caused mainly by fisheries. Demersal trawling is a component of mortality but is often not assessed. This could pose risk to benthic/demersal elasmobranchs which are often endemic and therefore vulnerable to fisheries when species ranges are within (or mainly within) trawl footprints. Northern New South Wales (NSW) is an area with endemism but also an area with fisheries such as the ocean prawn trawl (OPT) (penaeid sector). The OPT may interact with elasmobra… Show more
