Elasmobranchs inhabiting coral reef environments experience a number of environmental and anthropogenic threats. Yet, how species-specific distributions and habitat associations are driven by geographical and environmental factors is not well understood. Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) are a non-extractive and non-destructive technique used by the Global FinPrint Project to assess relative abundance and diversity of sharks and rays worldwide. Existing BRUVS data1 collected along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) revealed that shark abundance and species richness were most influenced by relative distance along and across the reef shelf and hard coral cover. Evidence suggests shark occurrence and species richness was higher in the Northern and Southern regions of the GBR compared to the Central GBR, while non-fished reefs supported higher shark abundance. While this dataset spanned the GBR, fewer deployments were conducted in the North (11-15°S), which is more remote, sustains comparably less fishing pressure and has been relatively unstudied. Recent FinPrint BRUVS sampling focused on 2 locations (4 reefs, n = 154) in this region to specifically investigate shark and ray occurrence. Elasmobranchs were observed on 85% of deployments and 14 species of sharks and 7 species of rays were identified, with 3 additional species not observed in the previous study. The most abundant species observed were grey reef C. amblyrhynchos, blacktip reef C. melanopterus, whitetip reef T. obesus, lemon N. acutidens and tiger G. cuvier sharks. Patterns in relative abundance and species richness will be revealed with comparisons among locations, no-take and fished reefs, water temperature, depth, reef orientation, benthos, and distance along and across the shelf. This research highlights the exceptional diversity and abundance of species in remote areas of the GBR, and contributes to our understanding of their distribution patterns and marine reserve use, which is essential for effective shark conservation.
