| dc.description | Over time, the international community has been launching several initiatives aimed at improving the conservation status of commercially-exploited aquatic species. The four separated studies of this report target four species or group of species with an international conservation profile and traditionally under-represented in market and industry literature. These species are sturgeons (Acipenseriformes), Caribbean queen conch (Strombus gigas), sharks (Chondrichtyes) and Patagonian toothfish (Dis sostichus eleginoides). The sturgeon and caviar industry is a commercial one, with traditionally high capture and export patterns. The queen conch fishery is an important provider of employment and income among fishing communities in the Western Central Atlantic area. The shark fishery is a relatively large and lucrative one. Sharks are mainly taken as bycatch of other commercial fisheries such as tuna and billfishes. The Patagonian toothfish is exploited by a large, commercial industry which is concentrated in the southernmost areas of the Atlantic and the Pacific and in Antarctic waters. | |
