Effective management measures are crucial to ensure the sustainability of shark fisheries. The objectives of this study were to investigate the stock status and to recommend some management strategies for shark fisheries in the Arafura Sea. Length frequency data and some life history parameters were used to perform a length-based stock assessment of <em>Carcharhinus sealei</em> in the Arafura Sea. <em>C. sealei</em> has an asymptotic length of 102.25 cm with a growth constant of 0.36 year<sup>−1</sup>. <em>C. sealei</em> has been exploited heavily, which was indicated by the current fishing mortality (F<sub>cur</sub> = 1.2 year<sup>−1</sup>), which was much higher than its natural mortality (M = 0.29 year<sup>−1</sup>) and the optimal fishing mortality (F<sub>40%</sub>=0.49 year<sup>−1</sup>). This study revealed that the high fishing pressure of sharks has resulted in the stock overfished condition for <em>C. sealei</em> in the Arafura Sea, with the current spawning potential ratio (SPR<sub>cur</sub> = 0.23) less than the reference point 40% SPR. The low selectivity of drift gillnet (current Lc<sub>50</sub> = 66 cm) caused the low spawning stock biomass of <em>C. seale</em>i. The stock rebuilding strategy would be required to increase the spawning stock biomass of <em>C. sealei</em>. A minimum legal size of 77 cm, a marine protected area, and effort controls were some management strategies that can be adopted for the sustainability of shark fisheries in the Arafura Sea.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46117,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research","volume":"49 2","pages":"Pages 261-267"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49887994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
