Distribution, size and sex composition, reproductive biology and diet of sharks from Northern Australia
J. D. Stevens,KJ McLoughlin +1 more
TL;DR: The distribution, size composition, sex ratio, reproductive biology and diet of 17 species of shark from the families Triakidae, Hemigaleidae and Carcharhinidae from northern Australia were examined, indicating four broad reproductive strategies among these sharks.

Age and growth estimates of the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, from the northern Gulf of Mexico
Steven Branstetter,Robert Stiles +1 more
TL;DR: Length at age and growth rates for 59 bull sharks, Carcharhinus leucas, collected from the northern Gulf of Mexico were estimated from the band patterns formed seasonally in the vertebral centra, finding growth was apparently slow and varied among individuals.

Biology of Tiger Sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) caught by the Queensland Shark Meshing Program off Townsville, Australia
TL;DR: There was no apparent decrease in the population size of G. cuvier in the Townsville area as a result of the long-term catching of sharks by the protective meshing programme, and the sex ratio of juveniles and adults favoured females, with few adult males being caught.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive biology of the tiger shark ( Galeocerdo cuvier ) in Hawaii
TL;DR: The data suggest that female tiger sharks in Hawaii give birth only once every three years, which could have major implications for conservation and management of this species, as it suggests that tiger shark fecundity is 33% lower than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

JD Stevens,PD Wiley +1 more
TL;DR: Stomach contents indicate that teleost fish are an important component of the diet of both species and there is some indication of a change in feeding depth with shark size.

The migrations of fish
TL;DR: Under the stimulus, and largely by the instrumentality, of the International Council for the Investigation of the Sea, enormous progress has been made in marine biological research in its bearings upon economic fishery problems since the founding of that body in 1902.
