SUMMARY
SUMMARY
IDENTIFICATION
SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Prionace glauca
SPECIES NAME(s)
Blue shark
The stock structure is not clearly understood but, based on tagging data, a distinct stock of blue shark is considered to exist in South Pacific besides the North Pacific with demarcation near the equator (Kleiber et al., 2009; Sippel et al., 2011; ISCTTS, 2013).
RECOMMENDATIONS
RETAILERS & SUPPLY CHAIN
- This profile is not currently high on our priority list for development, and we can’t at this time provide an accurate prediction of when it will be developed. To speed up an evaluation of the sustainability status of lower priority fisheries we have initiated a program whereby industry can directly contract SFP-approved analysts to develop a FishSource profile on a fishery. More information on this External Contributor Program is available at https://www.sustainablefish.org/Programs/Science/External-Contributor-Program.
Fisheries
Within FishSource, the term "fishery" is used to indicate each unique combination of a flag country with a fishing gear, operating within a particular management unit, upon a resource. That resource may have a known biological stock structure and/or may be assessed at another level for practical or jurisdictional reasons. A fishery is the finest scale of resolution captured in FishSource profiles, as it is generally the scale at which sustainability can most fairly and practically be evaluated.
