“…Data-poor species comprise >80% of global catch and almost two-thirds of species are overexploited (Costello et al, 2012; Guan, Chen, Boenish, Jin, & Shan, 2020). However, landings data are not consistent or reliable globally, particularly in countries with many landing sites and/or high levels of artisanal catch, particularly for sharks and their relatives (Khan et al, 2020; Okes & Sant, 2022; Ruano-Chamorro, Subida, & Fernández, 2017). Additionally, the catches of data-poor species, if characterised, are often reported as aggregates; grouped together by genus, family, or higher, giving little information on the catch of individual species (Cashion, Bailly, & Pauly, 2019; FAO, 2019).…”
