Is it legal to catch and sell guitarfish?
This depends on the species and the location. Internationally, wildlife trade is regulated by CITES.

New research on #wedgefish led by @brooke_dalberto in @ESR_IR's special "Global status of wedgefish and guitarfish".
This study provides the first preliminary species-specific life history info for R. australiae.

Recruiting a #PhD student to join my lab @USMArtsSciences! Using novel #eDNA #ddPCR tools to assess the status & study #ecology of #RhinoRays to improve #conservation. Info in thread below ⬇️ #sawfish #wedgefish #guitarfish @eDNAcollab @SharkScience @usmconservbio @CMCBusm
After many hours at sea with Gabonese 🇬🇦 & Congolese 🇨🇬 fishers, Congolese fisheries agents & a Gabonese PhD student we successfully tagged #tigersharks, blackchin #guitarfish & African #wedgefish with @Tags4Wildlife tags - we look forward to sharing more, but here is a teaser…
#Sharks & #rays play important role in local economy and food security across region. Our study observed landing of 42 different species - 81% considered at an elevated risk of extinction, including observations of most imperilled families – #guitarfish, #wedgefish & #angelsharks
International Research Team Embarks On Quest To Save Elusive Shark Relative. A multinational team is searching for the elusive Clown Wedgefish in #Indonesia's Riau Islands to understand its habitat and develop #conservation plans. https://t.co/tdqkQZmUFZ #wedgefish
A multi-national research team from Indonesia, Australia, & the USA are looking for one of the world’s most #EndangeredFish, the Clown #Wedgefish (#𝑅ℎ𝑦𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑖), a fish so elusive it has only ever been recorded at fish markets.

To resolve these unknowns, we are designing a #ddPCR #eDNA assay for the Clown #Wedgefish for use in Indonesia, & a #ddPCR multiplex tool to detect DNA from the False Shark Ray, Blackchin #Guitarfish, & African Wedgefish for use in surveys in West Africa. PC Eni Caturini
#Wedgefish & #GiantGuitarfish are the most #threatened elasmobranchs, surpassing #sawfish in their extinction risk. For some species, such as the Clown Wedgefish & False Shark Ray, their distributions, statuses, & habitats are largely unknown. #RhinoRay #SharkAwarenessDay
Today is #SharkAwarenessDay with a spotlight on our favorite group, the #RhinoRay. This group includes #Sawfish, #Wedgefish, #Guitarfish, #GiantGuitarfish, & #BanjoRay. Today I'll be sharing our work on these highly threatened species! Thanks to Eloisa Pinheiro for the artwork!

Fishers reported:
- Strong positive behavioural & normative beliefs regarding catching #wedgefish & #hammerheads - they are 'rezeki laut' (gift from God/the ocean).
- Strong negative beliefs regarding catching #whalesharks - 'dia bawa ikan kecil' (she brings the small fish)
