Effects on Sharks Caught and Released from Fishing Gear
Many sharks are caught as bycatch in commercial and recreational fishing and are discarded back into the ocean. Anderson Cabot Center scientists monitor the mortality rate among fish that are discarded, and use that data to inform best practices in order to improve the sharks’ survival rates.
