• Assessing the size, growth rate and structure of a seasonal population of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus Smith 1828) using conventional tagging and photo identification (2007, unknown): “Fisheries-independent studies on shark populations and movement are increasing (Cliff et al., 1996; Ferreira and Ferreira, 1996; Simpfendorfer et al., 2002), with a range of methods developed to study the population biology of sharks, all of which have their opportunities and drawbacks (Cailliet,…”
• You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays (2008, background): “Different catch-rate analyses generate diverging trends even for the same ocean: the North-west Atlantic data suggest significant declines in abundance (Simpfendorfer et al., 2002; Baum et al., 2003), while those for international waters of the North Atlantic suggest little change (Nakano, 1998; Mat”
• Shark bycatch and depredation in the U.S. Atlantic pelagic longline fishery (2008, background): “The species reportedly comprises 50% of the universal Northwest Atlantic PLL bycatch, a group of species not comprised exclusively of sharks (Crowder and Myers 2001).”
• Calibration of pelagic stereo‐BRUVs and scientific longline surveys for sampling sharks (2014, background): “The use of fishery-dependent data alone can lead to sampling biases due to gear selectivity and heterogeneous fishing effort that discriminate among species and habitats (Simpfendorfer et al. 2002; Murphy & Jenkins 2010).”
