Killing for conservation the need for alternatives to lethal sampling of apex predatory sharks
Published on 22. June 2011 Neil Hammerschlag, James Sulikowski. ABSTRACT: Top oceanic predators, especially large predatory sharks (TOPS), appear to be experiencing varying degrees of population declines. Life history data (e.g. diet, reproductive status, age and growth, mortality) are critical for developing effective conservation strategies for TOPS. Presently, lethal sampling remains the most effective and
