Overview

Historical analysis shows shark depredation in recreational fisheries affects target species, indicating a need for better management solutions.

Key Points

  • To characterize the dynamics of shark depredation and its impact on target species in US Atlantic recreational fisheries.
  • Integrated observations from published literature, angler surveys, and social media content.
  • Analyzed 207 unique target-depredator connections involving target species and shark depredators.
  • Applied a historical perspective to assess the evolution of fisheries management systems.
  • Shark depredation is widespread in US Atlantic waters, affecting at least 51 target species.
  • Identified 22 shark depredators, including both authorized and prohibited species.
  • Provided a framework for evaluating mitigation options and establishing future research priorities.
