First record of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus, is one of the most common Indo-Pacific reef sharks. On April 29, 2012, a juvenile male blacktip reef shark measuring 89 cm total length (TL), was incidentally caught during a research expedition in ...

Response of blacktip reef sharks Carcharhinus melanopterus to shark bite mitigation products [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractGlobally, the frequency of shark bites is rising, resulting in an increasing demand for shark deterrents and measures to lessen the impact of shark bites on humans. Most existing shark protection measures are designed to reduce the probability of a bite, but fabrics that minimise injuries when a shark bite occurs can also be used as mitigation ...

Spatial and temporal analysis of juvenile blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) demographies identifies critical habitats [PDF]

Journal of Fish Biology, 2023
AbstractReef shark species have undergone sharp declines in recent decades, as they inhabit coastal areas, making them an easy target in fisheries (i.e., sharks are exploited globally for their fins, meat, and liver oil) and exposing them to other threats (e.g., being part of by‐catch, pollution, and climate change). Reef sharks play a critical role in

Drivers of Daily Routines in an Ectothermic Marine Predator: Hunt Warm, Rest Warmer?

PLoS ONE, 2015
Animal daily routines represent a compromise between maximizing foraging success and optimizing physiological performance, while minimizing the risk of predation.

Human‐induced shifts in habitat use and behaviour of a marine predator: the effects of bait provisioning in the blacktip reef shark [PDF]

Animal Conservation, 2020
AbstractWhile the negative effects of consumptive pressures on marine predators are well established, the effects of increasing non‐consumptive activities such as wildlife tourism are still understudied. As such, the long‐term effects of the provision of bait on shark behaviour are still unclear.

Thermal tolerance and hypoxia tolerance are associated in blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) neonates [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020
ABSTRACT Thermal dependence of growth and metabolism can influence thermal preference and tolerance in marine ectotherms, including threatened and data-deficient species. Here, we quantified the thermal dependence of physiological performance in neonates of a tropical shark species (blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus) from ...

The COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the absence of diver-shark interaction on blacktip reef shark’s agonistic behavior: Morotai case

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
AbstractPrior to COVID-19 pandemic, Morotai waters was well known as one of the favorite destination for shark watching tourism in Indonesia. Similar to other animal sighting tourism in Indonesia, shark diving has been hit hard by the pandemic of COVID-19 and has been banned since April 2020.

Unraveling the genetic and environmental factors that influence blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) reproduction success [PDF]

, 2023
A global assessment (in 2021) reported that a third (32.6%, 391 on 1199 species) of chondrichthyan species (sharks, rays, chimaeras) were threatened by extinction. This assessment might have been underestimated as 12.9% of these species are currently listed as data deficient.

The biology and ecology of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) and implications for management [PDF]

, 2013
[Extract] This project aimed to provide new information on the biology and ecology of the blacktip reef shark to address key knowledge gaps and provide information that informs the conservation and management of the blacktip reef shark. This thesis uses a vulnerability assessment approach that has been applied in a variety of fisheries and natural ...

Steroid hormones as a non-lethal assessment of the reproductive biology in male and female blacktip reef sharks

Frontiers in Fish Science
IntroductionOverexploitation of sharks and the destruction of their habitat has led to severe population declines and the need for conservation and management actions. Effective conservation management requires knowledge of the size at which a shark matures and an understanding of their breeding season, fundamental information to maintain appropriate ...
