I have print versions of both - easier for me to read (grin).

You know about Drum and Croaker? http://drumandcroaker.org/

Let me know if you think folks here might benefit from that and I'll start a new thread....

I saw mentions of it on MonsterFishKeepers, but I figured it was just a forum for drums and croakers, like SCR is for elasmobranch enthusiasts! I think it’d be super useful to have some copies, can you tag me when you make the post?

I did not realize that a new revised edition(2017) has been released. But I guess it makes sense, as there has been some advancements in shark & ray husbandry, as well as some newly discovered species which have kept in captivity in the past 15 years.

Drum and Croaker also has a shark/ray supplement online. My recollection is that it contains information that didn't make it into the husbandry manual.
