Age, growth, maturity, longevity and natural mortality of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in New Zealand waters (2006, methodology): “The length and degree of calcification of claspers were used as the primary indicators of male maturity, and uterus width was used as the primary indicator of female maturity (see Francis and Duffy 2005 ).”
Age under-estimation in New Zealand porbeagle sharks (Lamna nasus): is there an upper limit to ages that can be determined from shark vertebrae? (2007, background): “Median lengths at maturity for New Zealand porbeagles are 140–150 cm for males and 170–180 cm for females (Francis and Duffy 2005), compared with 166 cm and 208 cm respectively for north-west Atlantic porbeagles (Jensen et al. 2002).”
You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays (2008, unknown): “However, the even slower growth rates and greater longevity of this stock (Francis et al., 2007) indicate that it is biologically more vulnerable to over-exploitation than the depleted North Atlantic stocks.”
