Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022 The space use of captive animals has been reliably used as a tool to measure animal welfare in recent years. However, most analyses of space use focus primarily on terrestrial animals, with very little emphasis placed on the space use of aquatic animals.

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 ...

On the Movements of the Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
, 2023 One challenge in studying the natural behaviour of wild animals is the requirement of detailed observations spanning extended periods of time, which is particularly difficult in the case of sharks. As a result, remote sensing technologies are increasingly employed in which the data received is considerably simplified.

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.

Blacktip Reef Shark Aggression in Moorea v1
, 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.
