Satellite tagging of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and other pelagic sharks off eastern Australia: depth behaviour, temperature experience and movements (2010, background): “Blue sharks are relatively productive for a chondrichthyan species with sexual maturity reached in 4–6 years for males and 5–7 years for females and usual litter sizes being 30–40 (although annual fecundity is uncertain; Nakano and Seki 2003; Nakano and Stevens 2008).”
Postrelease survival, vertical and horizontal movements, and thermal habitats of five species of pelagic sharks in the central Pacific Ocean (2011, background): “…form a large part of the international shark fin trade (Clarke et al., 2006), are generally not targeted but are by far the majority of the bycatch in pelagic gill nets and longline fisheries targeting swordfish (Xiphias gladius) (Camhi, 2008; Mandelman et al., 2008; Nakano and Stevens, 2008).”
Food and feeding habits of the blue shark Prionace glauca caught off Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, with a review on its feeding (2010, background): “…online 12 February 2010 I N T R O D U C T I O N The blue shark Prionace glauca L. is the most abundant pelagic shark worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas, distributed over oceanic as well as neritic waters, and is commercially caught elsewhere (Strasburg, 1959; Nakano & Stevens, 2008).”
