    Angel Sharks are among the most threatened families of fish in the world. In the Mediterranean three species are present facing a severe depletion with several local extinction events as a result of overexploitation by fisheries. Hereby, we present 7 additional records of Squatina squatina from Corsica contributing to the new regional action plan for Angel Sharks in the Mediterranean Sea. Most records include juvenile specimens, indicating that the area might be a nursery ground for the species.Sklat sivac pripada najugroĆŸenijoj obitelji riba na svijetu. U Sredozemlju su prisutne tri vrste koje su suočene s velikim iscrpljivanjem i s nekoliko lokalnih slučajeva izumiranja kao posljedice prekomjerne eksploatacije u ribolovu.Utvrđeno je u ovom radu 7 dodatnih nalaza sivca sklata Squatina squatina s Korzike koji doprinose novom regionalnom akcijskom planu za očuvanje sklatova u Sredozemnom moru. Većina nalaza uključuje juvenilne primjerke, ĆĄto ukazuje da bi područje moglo biti hraniliĆĄte i obitavaliĆĄte vrste

    Currently, 106 species of chondrichthyans (40 rays, 59 sharks, and 7 chimaeras) can be found in the marine waters of metropolitan France. 14 chondrichthyans are listed on French IUCN red list and/or national and international legislations and most of them (63 species) are Data Deficient as a result of lack of data. The protection of these populations has been problematic because the conservation status and spatial distribution of most species are not well known or poorly understood. This chondrichthyan distribution atlas, aims to address measures under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), which requires mapping of the presence of these species within French marine waters. Capture data from onboard observers on commercial fishing vessels, scientific surveys, and citizen science data from 2003 to 2021 were compiled. Given the mobile nature of these species, the study area includes waters up within the North-east Atlantic, specifically Greater North Sea (including Kattegat and English Channel), Celtic Seas, Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Coast, and French western Mediterranean waters. Each species has a fact sheet that includes 1) maps of raw occurrences broken down by 3 regions (MSFD marine waters of North East Atlantic; the Gulf of Lion, and Corsica); 2) information on the ecology (seasonality and depth of captures) and 3) capture by fishing gears and according to their length. To address potential miss-identification issues and identify areas where the presence of a species is unlikely, a certainty of data occurrence index has been implemented. These results are commented on by French chondrichthyans experts in the species sheets, and information on historical distributions or taxonomy, where appropriate, is also provided. The relevance of this Atlas to implementing chondrichthyan conservation measures to meet MSFD requirements are discussed.Actuellement, 106 espĂšces de chondrichtyens (40 raies, 59 requins et 7 chimĂšres) sont prĂ©sentes de maniĂšre rĂ©guliĂšre ou occasionnelle dans les eaux maritimes de France mĂ©tropolitaine. Parmi elles, 14 espĂšces figurent sur la liste rouge de l’UICN France tandis qu’une majoritĂ© (63 espĂšces) est classĂ©e « donnĂ©es insuffisantes ». La protection de ces populations est identifiĂ©e comme un enjeu fort bien que le statut de conservation et/ou la distribution spatiale d’une majoritĂ© d’espĂšces ne soient pas ou peu connus faute de donnĂ©es. Le prĂ©sent document, qui prend la forme d’un « atlas de distribution des chondrichtyens », vise Ă  rĂ©pondre Ă  une action du programme de mesures de la Directive Cadre StratĂ©gie Milieu Marin qui nĂ©cessite une cartographie actualisĂ©e de la prĂ©sence de ces espĂšces. Pour cela, les donnĂ©es de captures et d’observations disponibles dans diffĂ©rentes sources de donnĂ©es (suivis de la pĂȘche professionnelle, campagnes scientifiques et sciences participatives) et sur une pĂ©riode rĂ©cente (2003-2021) ont Ă©tĂ© compilĂ©es. Compte tenu du caractĂšre mobile de ces espĂšces, la zone d’étude comprend les eaux de l’Atlantique Nord-Est, prĂ©cisĂ©ment la Mer du Nord (y compris le CattĂ©gat et la Manche), les Mers Celtiques, le Golfe de Gascogne et la cĂŽte ibĂ©rique, ainsi que la Mer MĂ©diterranĂ©e occidentale (uniquement les eaux françaises). Chaque espĂšce possĂšde une fiche dĂ©diĂ©e qui inclut 1) des cartes d’occurrences brutes dĂ©clinĂ©es pour 3 zones (Atlantique/Manche et mer du Nord, Golfe du Lion et Corse) et qui sont complĂ©tĂ©es par 2) des informations visant notamment Ă  dĂ©crire l’écologie (saisonnalitĂ© et profondeur des captures) et 3) la vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© des espĂšces vis-Ă -vis des engins de pĂȘche (types d’engins, tailles de capture). Pour prendre en compte les problĂšmes d’identification dont ces espĂšces font l’objet et identifier des zones potentielles oĂč la prĂ©sence d’une espĂšce est peu probable, un niveau de conformitĂ© des donnĂ©es d’occurrences recueillies a Ă©tĂ© Ă©valuĂ©. Ces rĂ©sultats sont commentĂ©s, au sein des fiches espĂšces, par des experts nationaux et des Ă©lĂ©ments concernant les distributions historiques ou de taxonomie sont apportĂ©s, le cas Ă©chĂ©ant. Finalement, l’apport de ce travail pour la mise en Ɠuvre des mesures de gestion des chondrichtyens dans le cadre de la DCSMM est discutĂ©

    Global-Scale Environmental Niche and Habitat of Blue Shark (Prionace glauca) by Size and Sex: A Pivotal Step to Improving Stock Management

    Blue shark (Prionace glauca) is amongst the most abundant shark species in international trade, however this highly migratory species has little effective management and the need for spatio-temporal strategies increases, possibly involving the most vulnerable stage or sex classes. We combined 265,595 blue shark observations (capture or satellite tag) with environmental data to present the first global-scale analysis of species’ habitat preferences for five size and sex classes (small juveniles, large juvenile males and females, adult males and females). We leveraged the understanding of blue shark biotic environmental associations to develop two indicators of foraging location: productivity fronts in mesotrophic areas and mesopelagic micronekton in oligotrophic environments. Temperature (at surface and mixed layer depth plus 100 m) and sea surface height anomaly were used to exclude unsuitable abiotic environments. To capture the horizontal and vertical extent of thermal habitat for the blue shark, we defined the temperature niche relative to both sea surface temperature (SST) and the temperature 100 m below the mixed layer depth (Tmld+100). We show that the lifetime foraging niche incorporates highly diverse biotic and abiotic conditions: the blue shark tends to shift from mesotrophic and temperate surface waters during juvenile stages to more oligotrophic and warm surface waters for adults. However, low productivity limits all classes of blue shark habitat in the tropical western North Atlantic, and both low productivity and warm temperatures limit habitat in most of the equatorial Indian Ocean (except for the adult males) and tropical eastern Pacific. Large females tend to have greater habitat overlap with small juveniles than large males, more defined by temperature than productivity preferences. In particular, large juvenile females tend to extend their range into higher latitudes than large males, likely due to greater tolerance to relatively cold waters. Large juvenile and adult females also seem to avoid areas with intermediate SST (~21.7-24.0°C), resulting in separation from large males mostly in the tropical and temperate latitudes in the cold and warm seasons, respectively. The habitat requirements of sensitive size- and sex-specific stages to blue shark population dynamics are essential in management to improve conservation of this near-threatened species
