Member States shall, where possible, carry out research on shark species caught in the ICCAT Convention area in order to improve the selectivity of fishing gear, to identify potential nursery areas and consider time and area closure and other measures, as appropriate.
I gcás inar féidir, déanfaidh na Ballstáit taighde ar speicis de shiorcanna a ghabhtar i limistéar Chonbhinsiún ICCAT chun roghnaíocht trealaimh iascaireachta a fheabhsú, chun limistéir a d'fhéadfadh bheith ina n-iasclanna a shainaithint agus chun iamh ama agus limistéir agus bearta eile a mheas, de réir mar is iomchuí.
