I've just realised that you can access JSTOR for free without being a university student, actually, and can feel myself standing on the precipice of something AWESOME

MANUAL - Elasmobranch Husbandry: Conservation and Ethical Care of Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras

The Elasmobranch Husbandry website, dedicated to the ethical Husbandry and Conservation of Elasmobranch: Sharks, Skates, Rays and Chimeras. Location of the Elasmobranch Husbandry Manual and the Elasmobranch Husbandry Symposium. The one-stop resource for Shark Husbandry. The one-stop resource for Ray Husbandry. The place to learn more about how to care for sharks and rays.

I don’t know if a lot of you know this, but the entire Elasmobranch Husbandry Manual is available for free to everyone online. I’m proud to say I’ve worked with a couple of the authors and this is a great collection of wisdom from all over the field. It’s mostly aimed at shark husbandry, but there’s a lot of good stuff in there. If you’re in the animal field, or want to get into it, it’s a great way to get familiar with current procedures in animal husbandry.
