Come see my poster at @icft2023!
It’s about small spotted catshark ecology!

And if I am not in front of it you can ask me questions at any moment of the day 🙂

Shark populations have suffered dramatic declines across the world as a result of overfishing. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can help restore overfished populations; however, their effectiveness largely relies on understanding the ecology of the targeted species. This study investigated the spatial ecology of the intensely harvested but understudied small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) through acoustic telemetry in the Cíes Islands, a small MPA in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula.
