Ahmad Widyatmoko at #Elasmo25: The Dutch delta is a possible nursery area for common stingrays, but where they go in winter was unknown. Tagged animals traveled 500 kilometers to UK waters/ the English Channel.

Hayley Roberts at #Elasmo25:
Blue sharks are one of the most heavily fished sharks in the world. UK recreational anglers collect and share data, giving us a time series since the 1950s. Recent increases in catch are caused by oceanographic changes- UK is now better habitat for blue sharks

The European tracking network is a data sharing platform for acoustic fish telemetry. Claudia Meneses at #Elasmo25 is explaining the system to attendees and encouraging us to join and share. 1,665 tagged sharks and rays so far!

Jack Renwick at #Elasmo25 :
Fisheries management requires fishermen to accurately record and share catch and discard data. One reason why they don’t do this is complexity. Educating fishermen, and making it easier for them to report their data, leads to much higher compliance.

Lotte Pohl at #Elasmo25 : Starry smoothhound Sharks exhibit differences in habitat use between sexes. Next steps: use an ultrasound to determine if the females are pregnant, and using estuaries to give birth.

So excited to see some cownose rays (alive) after 3 weeks of museum work. Nice welcome to European Elasmobranch Association meeting #Elasmo25 here with @rachhson.bsky.social @amandasodysseys.bsky.social
