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,

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Ontogenetic movements of juvenile blacktip reef sharks: evidence of dispersal and connectivity between coastal habitats and coral reefs

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2013
ABSTRACTConnectivity between coastal habitats and mid‐shelf and offshore coral reefs is a topical issue in the conservation and management of fishes and coastal ecosystems.Coastal habitats provide a range of ecosystem functions for sharks and rays and the use of coastal ecosystems by these species affects conservation and management outcomes.

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.

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.

Long-term movement patterns and trophic ecology of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) at Palmyra Atoll

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2010
article i nfo Animal movements, residence times, and subsequently foraging strategies, should vary with habitat quality. We used acoustic and satellite telemetry, as well as stable isotopes, to look at movement patterns, macro- scale habitat use, and trophic ecology of blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus, between two lagoons (eastern and ...
