[9] Considering the relative uncertainty on the population structure and conservation status of the species Lamna nasus , Isurus oxyrinchus and Leucoraja melitensis , a close monitoring of these species is recommended and if updated scientific assessment so requires, the Commission will consider which additional protection measures for these species would be required. The Commission also endeavours to strengthen further the protection of these species in the context of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations.
