Population structure and residency patterns of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus in turbid coastal environments

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, 2013
This study examined the characteristics of a blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus population in turbid coastal habitats through a multi‐year fishery‐independent sampling and tag–recapture programme. Results revealed a highly structured population comprised almost entirely of juveniles and adult females with individuals between 850 and 1050 mm ...

Ethogram for blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Behaviour, 2023
Abstract The chondrichthyan lineage diverged from the osteichthyan line around 440 million years ago, resulting in a vast evolutionary gulf between modern elasmobranchs and other vertebrates. Though this has supported the assumption that as an ancient line, elasmobranchs are dangerously stupid, intelligent actions including social interactions have ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The complete mitochondrial genome of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus is determined for the first time in this study. The gene composition and order in the mitogenome of C. melanopterus is identical to most vertebrates. The overall base composition is 31.3% A, 25.3% C, 13.3% G and 30.1% T.

The Impacts of Elasmobranch Provisioning on the Behavior of Blacktip Reef Sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

2023
On the island of Moorea, French Polynesia, tourism operators have engaged in consistent elasmobranch provisioning at specific sites since the 1990s, conditioning the area’s shark and ray populations to human feeding and developing profitable lagoon tours based on close-contact elasmobranch encounters.

The structure of the hypothalamic inferior lobes of the blacktip reef shark: Scanning and transmission electron microscopic observations

Journal of Morphology, 1976
AbstractThe inferior lobes of the shark hypothalamus were examined with light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The cells bordering the floor of the lateral recess appear to be typical liquor‐contacting neurons. With scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the apical ends of these cells are seen to bulge into the ventricular lumen. In contrast,

An Observation of Mating in Free-Ranging Blacktip Reef Sharks, Carcbarbinus melanopterus

Pacific Science, 2010
Abstract: We describe the mating behavior of free-ranging Blacktip Reef Sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus, at Palmyra Atoll. This is the first primary report of mating in C. melanopterus and the first direct observation of mating for an obligate swimming shark species.

Population structure, spatial distribution and life‐history traits of blacktip reef sharks Carcharhinus melanopterus

Journal of Fish Biology, 2013
During a survey of the population of blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus in Moorea (French Polynesia) between 2007 and 2011, population structural characteristics were estimated from 268 individuals. Total length (LT) ranged from 48 to 139 cm and 48 to 157 cm for males and females, respectively, demonstrating that the average LT of females ...

Suspected intestinal torsion in a blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus).

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine : official publication of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 1999
A blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) with a history of recurrent eversion or prolapse of the valvular intestine, arrived at the Steinhart Aquarium in June 1996 and was placed in a mixed species shark display. The eversion soon reappeared, and the animal became thin and anorexic.

Physiological response and immediate mortality of gill-net-caught blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2017
To investigate factors contributing to immediate mortality in gill-net-caught elasmobranchs, we caught and blood sampled a total of 64 sharks and rays. Blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) were the most commonly caught species and had significantly elevated plasma lactate (mean 23.3 mM) and potassium (mean 6.2 mM) concentrations following ...
