| Summary: | Assessment for Atlantic pelagic sharks found that porbeagle sharks ranked among the less vulnerable species in terms of their biological productivity and susceptibility to pelagic longline fisheries (Cortes et al. 2010). Although biomass is increasing and overfishing is not occurring, stock rebuilding is still projected to take decades (ICES/ICCAT 2009). Existing Protections and Conservation Actions: In the U.S., this species is managed in the Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan and |
