Did you know that Bronze Whaler Sharks are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, and Dusky Whaler Sharks are listed as near threatened?

Because of this, these species, along with other vulnerable shark and ray species, have a combined recreational bag limit of 1 in South Australian waters.

If you’re reporting your catch on the new SA Fishing App – or just keen to know the difference – see the Whaler identification guide
