Changes in biological parameters of
Atlantic sharpnose shark Rhizoprionodon terraenovae in the Gulf of Mexico: evidence for density-dependent growth and maturity?
Yellowedge grouper comprised 10% of the catch, followed by blueline tilefish, Caulolatilus microps, at 5%; red snapper, tilefish, Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps, and
Atlantic sharpnose shark, Rhizoprionodon terraenovae, each at 3%.

The physiological response to capture and handling stress in the
Atlantic sharpnose shark, Rhizoprionodon terraenovae.
The fishery began by targeting sandbar and blacktip sharks for their fins and meat, but over time the
Atlantic sharpnose shark also became a target for use as bait in longline sets.
During this study, 624 sharks representing 10 shark species were captured, primarily dusky shark (Carcharhinus obscurus; n=235), spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna; n=180), sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus; n=89), and
Atlantic sharpnose shark (.Rhizoprionodon terraenovae; n=70).
Within each respective management group, the
Atlantic sharpnose shark, Rhizoprionodon terraenovae, a member of the small coastal management group, was most often captured, and the blacktip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus, was the species captured most often in the large coastal management group, using either longlines or gillnets (Table 2).
