Abstract

Elasmobranch-repelling compositions are prepared from elasmobranch carcasses. Extraction of these elasmobranch carcasses with polar solvent after a period of aerobic decay yields semiochemical repellents that induce a flight reaction in sharks when introduced into the sharks' oceanic proximity.
