Large-bodied sharks, including the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), play crucial roles as top predators in marine ecosystems, regulating lower trophic-level populations and connecting ecosystems across vast distances. However, elasmobranchs, particularly highly migratory species, face significant threats, with over one-third of species threatened with extinction. In the Eastern Central Atlantic (ECA), a data-poor region for sharks and rays, prolific shark fisheries have led to severe declines in elasmobranch populations, highlighting the urgent need for conservation measures.
