dc.description.abstractCommercial fishing in False Bay, South Africa, began in the 1600s. Today chondrichthyans are regularly taken in multiple fisheries throughout the Bay. Using time series data and life history information I assessed the vulnerability of chondrichthyans to exploitation in False Bay. Extensive time series from five fishing methods, between 1897 and 2011, enabled catch trend analyses for chondrichthyans as a whole as well as for specific species. Commercial linefish, beach seine, and recreational angling provided the best source of data because they cover the range of habitats found in the Bay and are the least selective methods.en_ZA
