• Decadal trends in shark catches and effort from the New South Wales, Australia, Shark Meshing Program 1950–2010 (2011, background): “The decline is not reflected in previously published Qld sharkmeshing data (Simpfendorfer 1992), whereas in KZN, this was the only species to exhibit an increasing CPUE, leading to postulation that this species may enjoy a competitive advantage within a system influenced by beach-protection programs”
• The importance of research and public opinion to conservation management of sharks and rays: a synthesis (2011, unknown): “In addition to their perceived public-safety benefits, shark-control programs have also been an invaluable source of information on shark and ray life histories (e.g. Simpfendorfer 1992), status (e.g. Dudley and Simpfendorfer 2006) and ecology (Taylor et al. 2011).”
• Reducing the environmental impact of shark-control programs: a case study from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2011, background): “Dudley and Simpfendorfer (2006) stated that the decline in catch rates appears to be due to heavy fishing by illegal commercial ventures in coastal waters of the south-western Indian Ocean.”
• Population genetics of Australian white sharks reveals fine-scale spatial structure, transoceanic dispersal events and low effective population sizes (2012, background): “Unfortunately, many changes over the years in the technology used, beaches monitored and in - formation recorded (Reid & Krogh 1992, Dudley & Simpfendorfer 2006, Green et al. 2009) have rendered population estimations from this source highly problematic (Walker 1998), and may be further confounded…”
