Sharks caught in the protective gill nets off KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. 10. The dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus (Lesueur 1818) (2005, methodology): “In an analysis of life history traits of 230 shark populations, comprising 164 species, Cortés (2000) characterised C. obscurus as being of large size and with slow growth, high longevity and few offspring, the large size of which reduces vulnerability to predation.”
Sharks in nearshore environments: models, importance, and consequences (2010, background): “It is important to recognise the diversity of sharks within nearshore areas because different species behave in different ways (Bethea et al. 2004), have different life-histories (Cortés 2000) and, as top predators, may have a large influence on nearshore community dynamics (Heithaus et al. 2008).”
Evaluating catch and mitigating risk in a multispecies, tropical, inshore shark fishery within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (2011, background): “The vulnerability of sharks and rays to overfishing stems largely from their life-history characteristics, including late maturation, low fecundity, low natural mortality and long life-spans (Cortes 2000).”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “Similar behaviour has been observed at Midway Atoll, Hawaii, for juvenile Galápagos sharks Carcharhinus galapagensis, which use channels and forereef habitats during the day and move onto atoll flats at night (Lowe et al. 2006).”
Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays (2013, background): “Sharks and their relatives include some of the latest maturing and slowest reproducing of all vertebrates, exhibiting the longest gestation periods and some of the highest levels of maternal investment in the animal kingdom (Cortés, 2000).”
Estimating the rate of quasi-extinction of the Australian grey nurse shark (Carcharias taurus) population using deterministic age- and stage-classified models (2004, background): “The ratio of juvenile survival to fertility Eðs1Þ Eðf2Þ þ Eðf3Þ ðage-classifiedÞ and Eðr1Þ Eðf2Þ þ Eðf3Þ ðstage-classifiedÞ; indicates the factor (number of times) by which fertility would have to increase to compensate for a given per cent reduction in juvenile survival for the population to return”
Incorporating Uncertainty into Demographic Modeling: Application to Shark Populations and Their Conservation (2002, background): “My study provides further support for such a continuum of lifehistory characteristics in sharks (Cortés 2000) and links it to the elasticity landscape, allowing classification of sharks according to their likely response to stage-specific perturbations.”
Vulnerability of oceanic sharks as pelagic longline bycatch (2014, methodology): “Despite the relatively high fecundity of the scalloped hammerhead (Cortés, 2000, 2002), its slow attainment of maturity and low survival render it more vulnerable to bycatch (Table 2, Fig.”
Sharks, rays and abortion: The prevalence of capture-induced parturition in elasmobranchs (2018, background): “They also exhibit some of the highest levels of maternal investment and longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom (Cortés, 2000; Dulvy et al., 2014).”
Evaluating marine protected areas for the conservation of tropical coastal sharks (2012, background): “Specifically, protecting breeding stocks may increase the number and size of reproducing females, which will increase litter sizes (Cortés, 2000) and enhance recruitment into the adult population.”
Methods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes. (2004, background): “As a result, long-lived species grow slowly, have late maturity and attain large body sizes whereas short-lived species grow quickly, mature early and have smaller body sizes (Beverton 1963, 1992; Charnov 1993; Cortés 2000; Rochet 2000; Reynolds et al. 2001).”
