| Summary: | This important and exciting title represents the first authoritative volume focussed on pelagic (open ocean) sharks as a group.

Pelagic sharks face unprecedented levels of exploitation in all the world's oceans through both direct fisheries and by-catch, and effective management for these species is contingent upon solid science and data, which this book brings together for the first time. |
