The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), a network of over 4,000 scientists, warn that sharks in deep waters in the Northeast Atlantic continue to face a bleak future. ICES provided recommendations for three deep-sea shark species—kite fin sharks, leafscale gulper sharks, and Portuguese dogfish sharks—and advise that these sharks should not be involved in fishery activities. Oceana in Europe believes this advice emphasizes the need for strong precautionary measures to protect these and other deep-sea shark species from overexploitation.
