Demographic Analysis of Shortfin Mako Shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in the South Pacific Ocean Hoang Huy Huynh, Chun-Yi Hung, Wen-Pei Tsai ABSTRACT: The shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) demonstrates low productivity and is thus relatively sensitive to fishing. Natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) data are critical to determine their population dynamics. However, catch and

Ocean depth–temperature profiles for operational oceanography from a shark-borne transmitter

Ocean depth–temperature profiles for operational oceanography from a shark-borne transmitter Kim Holland, Carl Meyer, James Potemra, Melinda Holland ABSTRACT: Background Many regions of the ocean are under-sampled in terms of their biology and physical structure. Increasingly sophisticated animal-borne electronic tags are capable of measuring and transmitting in situ environmental data such as ocean temperature–depth profiles.
