- The slowest fish: Swim speed and tail-beat frequency of Greenland sharks (2012, background): “When bodymass was not reported, it was estimated from body length using published length–mass relationships for the individual species [nurse sharks (Castro, 2000), blacktip reef sharks (Stevens, 1984), lemon sharks (Sundström and Gruber, 1998), shortfin mako sharks (Kohler et al.”
- First characterization of shark nursery habitat in the United States Virgin Islands: evidence of habitat partitioning by two shark species (2008, unknown): “Individual sharks of each species were categorized into life stages based on published lengths at maturity (Clark & von Schmidt 1965, Castro 1993, 1996, 2000, Henningsen 2000, Driggers et al. 2004), umbilical scar condition, and the degree of clasper calcification: young of the year (YOY; umbilical…”
- Habitat use and demographic population structure of elasmobranchs at a Caribbean atoll (Glover's Reef, Belize) (2005, methodology): “These estimates for the onset of sexual maturity are similar to size-at-maturity estimates given by Compagno (1984) and Castro (2000).”
- Behavior and mortality of caught-and-released bonefish (Albula spp.) in Bahamian waters with implications for a sustainable recreational fishery (2004, background): “Numerous marine predators occupy habitats similar to bonefish, including barracuda, Sphyraena barracuda, lemon shark, Negaprion brevirostris, black tip reef shark, Carcharhinus limbatus, nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum, tiger shark, Galeocardo cuvier and bonnet head shark, Sphyrna tiburo, all of”
- Use of natural marks on population estimates of the nurse shark,Ginglymostoma cirratum, at Atol das Rocas Biological Reserve, Brazil (2005, background): “As male nurse sharks usually mature larger than 215 cm TL, and females mature around 230 cm TL (Castro 2000), a large proportion of the nurse sharks sighted at Rocas accordingly were immature, rendering sex determination difficult.”
- Social preferences of juvenile lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris (2009, background): “Many shark species are known to form groups or loose aggregations (Klimley & Brown 1983; Ebert 1991; Castro 2000; Sims et al. 2000).”
- Kinematic Analysis of Suction Feeding in the Nurse Shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum (Orectolobiformes, Ginglymostomatidae) (2002, background): “However, G. cirratum and H. francisci primarily capture relatively small fishes and benthic invertebrates (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1948; Compagno, 1984; Castro, 2000) with a mouth that is almost terminal when maximally open (Edmonds et al., 2001).”
