Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “…oxygen, substratum type and depth affect the distribution of coastal elasmobranchs, with greater responses for some species and size classes (Economakis & Lobel 1998, Ackerman et al. 2000, Hopkins & Cech 2003, Simpfendorfer et al. 2005, DeAngelis et al. 2008, Vogler et al. 2008, Campos et…”

Analysis of whale shark Rhincondon typus aggregations near South Ari Atoll, Maldives Archipelago (2010, background): “Tracking studies and mtDNA data indicate, however, that whale sharks may be highly mobile between these visits (e.g. Eckert & Stewart 2001, Eckert et al. 2002, Castro et al. 2007, Hsu et al. 2007, Rowat & Gore 2007, Brunnschweiler et al. 2009), suggesting that multilateral regional cooperation and…”
To go or not to go with the flow: Environmental influences on whale shark movement patterns (2010, background): “The swimming speeds of those sharks were similar to other whale sharks tracked from Ningaloo (Gunn et al., 1999), the Eastern Pacific (Eckert and Stewart, 2001), South China Sea (Eckert et al., 2002a), Red Sea (Rowat et al., 2007), and the northwest Pacific (Hsu et al., 2007).”
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): “The paucity of population data coupled with the capacity for large-scale movement (Eckert and Stewart, 2001; Eckert et al., 2002b; Graham, 2003) constrains understanding of whale shark ecology and underpins their designation as “Vulnerable” to extinction in the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red…”
Scarring patterns and relative mortality rates of Indian Ocean whale sharks (2008, background): “…predation at Ningaloo and lower numbers of boat strikes, it needs to be recognized that these animals are highly migratory (Eckert & Stewart, 2001; Eckert et al., 2002; Rowat & Gore, 2006; Wilson et al., 2006; Bradshaw, 2007; Castro et al., 2007) and that the healed scars observed at the study…”
Aggregations of juvenile whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in the Gulf of Tadjoura, Djibouti (2007, background): “The relatively restricted area of movements recorded by this shark are similar to localised movement patterns from telemetry studies on whale sharks off Malaysia ( Eckert et al. 2002 ).”
Movements of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) tagged at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia (2006, background): “However, after departing Ningaloo Reef their whereabouts have been unknown, though they might travel to Indonesia and other neighboring nations where they are targeted by artisanal and commercial fisheries (Eckert et al. 2002; Newman et al. 2002).”
