Delineation and mapping of coastal shark habitat within a shallow lagoonal estuary.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks. Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and provides a variety of potential

Connecting post-release mortality to the physiological stress response of large coastal sharks in a commercial longline fishery.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Bycatch mortality is a major factor contributing to shark population declines. Post-release mortality (PRM) is particularly difficult to quantify, limiting the accuracy of stock assessments.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Diet of the Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico

Gulf and Caribbean Research, 2020
The stomach contents of 90 Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) specimens caught in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) were examined. Stomach contents were identified to the lowest possible taxon, and quantified using percent weight, percent number, percent frequency of occurrence, and percent index of relative importance (IRI).

Insights into the structure of grey reef shark aggregation, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker, 1856), in two distinct channels of the Maldivian archipelago, Indian Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The grey reef shark Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos is one of the most frequently encountered reef‐associated shark species in the Maldives, yet very little is known about its local size structure or population dynamics. This study provides new insights into two aggregations of C.

Field guide to requiem sharks (Elasmobranchiomorphi: Carcharhinidae) of the Western North Atlantic [PDF]

, 2001
Identification problems are common for many sharks due to a general lack of meristic characteristics that are typically useful for separating species. Other than number of vertebrae and number and shape of teeth, identifications are frequently based on ...

Diet of three shark species in the Ecuadorian Pacific, Carcharhinus falciformis, Carcharhinus limbatus and Nasolamia velox [PDF]

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2017
We analysed the stomach contents of 69 silky sharks Carcharhinus falciformis, 44 blacktip sharks Carcharhinus limbatus and 24 whitenose sharks Nasolamia velox caught in the Ecuadorian Pacific from August 2003 to December 2004. Prey included bony fishes, elasmobranchs, molluscs, crustaceans and turtles, with bony fishes being the most important to the ...
