Sažetak
In the Mediterranean 47 shark species have been recorded so far. Some of those species are commercially important and exploited over the ages as target species or bycatch, while others are rare or very rare and therefore recorded only occasionally. Due to negative impact of irresponsible fisheries on sharks, decline of some shark populations has been observed. Aim of this paper was to give short description of status of sharks in the Mediterranean and to propose some measures for their conservation and better management of their exploitation.
