@fao.org released their 2025 report on the status of marine fisheries resources (openknowledge.fao.org/items/ac6d51...).

This fact is WRONG

Hi all, like many others I've made the jump to Bluesky. I'm an Australian fisheries stock assessment scientist & quantitative ecologist. My research focuses on supporting sustainable fisheries & the industries & communities that rely on them. I post on🎣, 🦈, R πŸ“¦ & anything else I think is interesting

And you can find my small contribution at the very end (literally - it is the very last section starting on page 2067). It is on the poorly known, but very threatened, weasel sharks. This is a family of 8 species, 7 of which are threatened.

πŸš¨πŸ¦ˆπŸ“‘This new status is incredibly valuable and important to anyone working on Sharks. Speaking for Australia, there are few singular resources that better describe and encapsulate shark fisheries at the jurisdictional level. A must read for all shark scientists!! Thanks to all who contributed!
