Distribution and life history parameters of elasmobranch species in British Columbia waters / by G.A. McFarlane, R.P. McPhie, and J.R. King. : Fs97-6/2908E

Cover image

In British Columbia (BC) waters there are 30 elasmobranch species (27 known, 3 probable): sixteen species of shark, eleven species of skate, and three species of ray. This report provides the first comprehensive synthesis of distribution and life history parameters for these 30 species, and will be used to generate more in-depth investigations of individual species, especially those that are commonly encountered in BC waters but for which little or no life history information is available. This information is crucial for the development of future population modelling or stock assessment research.
