There are many books that are referenced on this site. Some of which we joke about for being so far off they aren't funny. Others are spotty at best.

I want to create this thread to offer one that is reliable for aquarists to turn to.


Often times, members of this site refer to the "Elasmobranch Husbandry Manual". It is the BEST knowledge put together by the top shark keepers in the industry - based on real world, first hand knowledge.

It can be purchased as a hard back book, or read online.

The 2004 manual is linked below:

Update of the EHM in 2017 below:


It covers 99% of any question you might have about shark/ray care.

I will say that I have personally worked with many of the contributing authors and some of my work was used to assemble this information. It is (at the point of print) the foremost informative guide when looking at keeping various elasmo species in controlled systems like we do.
