This project brings together shark, ray, and parasite experts from 13 institutions throughout the United States, Australia, Indonesia, and England. Recent survey work in the northern (Malaysian) regions of the island of Borneo will be extended to include the southern (Indonesian: Kalimantan) region. Collections will be conducted at 10 sites throughout the coast and rivers of Kalimantan at fish markets and in conjunction with fishermen. More limited, deeper water sampling will be conducted in the Java Sea and Makassar Strait using an Indonesian government trawling vessel. Neither sharks and rays, nor their parasites, have been sampled from Kalimantan previously. The discovery of new species (multiple sharks and rays and hundreds of parasites) is anticipated. The project will include description of all new species, establishment of representative collections in museums in the United States, Indonesia, and Australia, production of a guide to the sharks and rays of Borneo, and generation of the first checklists of the parasites of sharks and rays of the island. This project provides significant opportunities for the training of US and Indonesian students in shark, ray, and parasite identification. The baseline distributional information generated will assist with the development of a fisheries management plan for Indonesia. Data on the sharks and rays, and their parasites, will be made publicly available via the internet.

该项目汇集了来自美国、澳大利亚、印度尼西亚和英国13个机构的鲨鱼、鳐和寄生虫专家。 最近在婆罗洲岛北方（马来西亚）地区的调查工作将扩大到包括南部（印度尼西亚：加里曼丹）地区。 收集工作将在加里曼丹海岸和河流的10个地点、鱼市场和渔民一起进行。 将使用印度尼西亚政府的拖网渔船在爪哇海和马卡萨尔海峡进行更有限、更深的水取样。加里曼丹岛以前没有采集过鲨鱼和鳐鱼的样本，也没有采集过它们的寄生虫。 预计会发现新物种（多种鲨鱼和鳐以及数百种寄生虫）。 该项目将包括描述所有新物种，在美国、印度尼西亚和澳大利亚的博物馆建立代表性收藏品，制作婆罗洲鲨鱼和鳐指南，并制作婆罗洲鲨鱼和鳐寄生虫的第一份清单。该项目为美国和印度尼西亚学生提供了鲨鱼、鳐和寄生虫识别方面的培训机会。 所产生的基线分布信息将有助于印度尼西亚制定渔业管理计划。有关鲨鱼和鳐鱼及其寄生虫的数据将通过互联网公开。
