Oceanic sharks and rays have declined by over 70% 28 Jan 202128 January 2021 Last updated at 06:58 Getty Images The number of oceanic sharks and rays worldwide has fallen by 71% since 1970, according to a report by a team of scientists from around the world. Their study finds that more than three-quarters of these oceanic species are now threatened with extinction and over the past 50 years fishing pressure has doubled and shark and ray catches have tripled. The team assessed the risk of extinction for all 31 species of ocean shark and rays. Of the 31 oceanic species, 24 are now threatened with extinction and three shark species (the oceanic whitetip shark, and the scalloped and great hammerhead sharks) have declined so sharply that they are now classified as critically endangered.

Shark Population Down by 71%, Leading to a Possible Extinction

Global shark and ray populations have plummeted​ 71% in the past 50 years — nearing a point of no return

Global shark and ray populations have plummeted​ 71% in the past 50 years nearing a point of no return By Sophie Lewis Shark populations decimated around the world Shark and ray populations around the world have declined a staggering 70% over the past 50 years and scientists say humans are to blame. If nothing changes, overfishing could soon wipe them out completely. A new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, measures shark and ray populations from 1970 to 2018, finding a 71.1% decrease. Three-quarters of the species are now threatened with extinction, and scientists say the true collapse is likely even worse than their findings. Researchers hope the study serves as an urgent wake-up call.
