Abstract

The Mediterranean Sea is catalogued worldwide as one of the 25 “hot spots†in terms of biological diversity [1]. However, it hosts many threatened species including turtles, marine mammals, rays and sharks, with chondrichthyans being the group exposed to the highest risk, with 42% of the species living under some type of threat [2]. On the other hand, a third of the other species studied in these waters, are not under any apparent risk [3]. This fact, does not means a healthy status of conservation, but a worrying lack of data that prevents assessing the real degree of conservation.
