Comparative population demography of elasmobranchs using life history tables, Leslie matrices and stage-based matrix models (2002, methodology): “It also allows the use of a different mortality for the neonates as has been observed for Mustelus antarcticus (gummy shark)(Walker 1994), Galeorhinus galeus (school shark) (Punt and Walker 1998) and Negaprion brevirostris (lemon shark)(Gruber et al. 2001).”
Movement patterns of juvenile lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris within Atol das Rocas, Brazil: a nursery characterized by tidal extremes (2007, background): “Even with a high degree of site fidelity and movements largely restricted to shallow water, lemon sharks suffer a high natural mortality, with estimates of annual mortality at Bimini between 40 and 50% in the first year (Manire & Gruber 1993, Gruber et al. 2001).”
First characterization of shark nursery habitat in the United States Virgin Islands: evidence of habitat partitioning by two shark species (2008, result): “Although our tagging was not designed as a mark-depletion experiment, the seemingly high emigration and/or mortality rate at the end of summer is similar to that reported for blacktip and lemon sharks in Florida and the Bahamas (Heupel & Simpfendorfer 2002, Gruber et al. 2001).”
Nursery Areas as Essential Shark Habitats: A Theoretical Perspective (2007, background): “North Sound, Bimini, Bahamas has been shown to have a carrying capacity of 30 lemon shark pups, with density-dependent survival, but it is not known what sets this level (Gruber et al. 2001).”
Effects of large-scale anthropogenic development on juvenile lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) populations of Bimini, Bahamas (2008, unknown): “Secondly survival rates of juvenile sharks before and after March 2001 were analysed to determine if, following the period of intensive dredging, the survival rates differed from the earlier estimates of between 38% and 65% (Gruber et al. 2001).”
Estuarine nursery areas provide a low-mortality environment for young bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas (2011, background): “Long-term approaches that allow the fate of individuals to be followed (e.g. conventional tagging, acoustic monitoring and cohort analysis) are used, but the logistics of data collection mean that they are rarely implemented (Xiao et al. 1999, Gruber et al. 2001, Heupel & Simp fendorfer 2002).”
Movement patterns of young Caribbean reef sharks, Carcharhinus perezi, at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Brazil: the potential of marine protected areas for conservation of a nursery ground (2006, background): “Since there is some evidence that growth and mortality in populations of young sharks may be density dependent (Gruber et al. 2001), this finding may indicate a possible negative effect of MPAs on shark early life stages that should be further investigated and possibly taken into account during the…”
