This animal was also fitted with a satellite tag to enable more detailed tracking of its movements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/682dcfbb5a514763ee062948/172cb870-02e6-41e1-a71c-6d311fc68ca0/jfb70075-fig-0005-m.jpg News & Articles - Unravelling the many mysteries of Tope in the Northeast Atlantic - Make it stand out Trends in annual sex ratios (a) and (b) male and female mean (average) total lengths of tope for three areas around the Irish coast. Note: only male total lengths are included for the Southwest and Northern Atlantic coasts due to the low number of females caught. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/682dcfbb5a514763ee062948/18c21c69-094d-417c-b66b-9188770826e5/jfb70075-fig-0003-m.jpg News & Articles - Unravelling the many mysteries of Tope in the Northeast Atlantic - Make it stand out Image showing the proportions of male and female tope for various regions within the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean. Part (a) & (d) show the percentage of tope catches from each region which are made up of females. Parts (b) & (e) show percentage of females which exceed length at which 50% of sharks are mature (i.e. those exceeding this length are more likely to be sexually mature than immature). Parts (c) & (f) show the equivalent information for male sharks. Sample sizes for each marine area and subsample are denoted by hashed lines. Note: patterns in areas where the sample size (N) is less than 10, denoted by diagonal lines, should be considered cautiously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/682dcfbb5a514763ee062948/cb6681d4-fbf4-4701-9d18-3b0b43affaef/IMG_1191.jpg News & Articles - Unravelling the many mysteries of Tope in the Northeast Atlantic - Make it stand out An adult female tope, just tagged with a pop-up satellite tag by the author, and ready for release. These tags record details of the movements, depth use, activity levels and surrounding water temperatures of these animals over a 1 year period, before popping off the animal and transmitting this information to us via satellites. https://sharkslecheile.org/news-articles/catch-you-later-understanding-the-impact-of-catch-and-release-angling monthly 0.5 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/682dcfbb5a514763ee062948/b3f70a27-4e70-4c7c-9b9c-39a9bc36bc8b/Figure+1.jpg News & Articles - Catch you later(?) Understanding the impact of catch and release angling for elasmobranchs - Make it stand out Flow diagram representing the major animal welfare factors (inputs shown on the left); resultant physical and biochemical impacts (shown in grey); and outcomes associated with recreational catch-and-release angling for elasmobranchs. Species-specific risk categories are outlined for a range of different elasmobranch species found globally, including a nurse shark (low); a typical lamnid shark (e.g. porbeagle; moderate); a great hammerhead (severe); and for a ‘typical’ skate or ray (unknown) https://sharkslecheile.org/news-articles/category/Animal+Welfare monthly 0.5
