Topic 4: THE ELASMOBRANCHS<br />
General objectives and activities related<br />
to cartilaginous fishes<br />
GFCM/SAC/SCMEE reiterated the<br />
importance of a wider use of the MEDLEM<br />
protocols and information system already<br />
adopted by a number of regional bodies to<br />
favour timely exchange of information on<br />
Large Elasmobranchs. D<br />
Essential tool for the knowledge and<br />
conservation of the marine biodiversity in<br />
the Italian seas.<br />
Aimed to update biology, dynamics and<br />
exploitation status of Rajidae, analysing data<br />
from scientific trawl surveys in the<br />
Mediterranean (MEDITS). A first example<br />
in Mediterranean of data sharing for the<br />
assessment of a group of species. C<br />
Considered global and country specific<br />
information on shark fisheries and trade to<br />
identify limitation and strategies for<br />
improving their monitoring.<br />
To contribute to the objective of the FAO<br />
IPOA SHARKS by ensuring the rebuilding<br />
of many depleted stocks fished by the<br />
Community fleet within and outside<br />
Community waters.<br />
Primary objectives were a critic revision and<br />
implementation of the National Action Plana<br />
and a periodic monitoring of landings at the<br />
main harbors of the selected regions<br />
(Liguria, Sardinia, Sicily and Apulia). C<br />
Agree on a common maturity scale for<br />
Elasmobranches (sharks and rays) across<br />
laboratories comprising a comparison of<br />
existing scales and standardization of<br />
maturity determination criteria<br />

In the last years the MEDLEM programme has been presented and discussed several<br />
times in the framework of the GFCM. Other international organization, IUCN<br />
(International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) and EEA<br />
(European Elasmobranch Association), also endorsed the project showing a great
