Vertical and Horizontal Movements of the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark (sphyrna Lewini) around Malpelo and Cocos Islands (tropical Eastern Pacific) Using Satellite Telemetry
Understanding distribution ranges and the daily movement patterns of pelagic fishes are key aspects for the establishment and planning of protected areas for their conservation. In this study the vertical and horizontal movements of scalloped hammerhead sharks, Sphyrna lewini, were recorded in Malpelo and Cocos Island using satellite telemetry. Nine sharks were tagged with satellite transmitter...
متن کاملTracking the fin trade: genetic stock identification in western Atlantic scalloped hammerhead sharks Sphyrna lewini
Location or stock-specific landing data are necessary to improve management of shark stocks, especially those imperiled by overexploitation as a result of the international shark fin trade. In the current absence of catch monitoring directly at extraction sites, genetic stock identification of fins collected from major market supply chain endpoints offers an overlooked but potentially useful ap...
متن کاملBioenergetics of free-ranging juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) in Kāne’ohe Bay, Ō’ahu, HI
Metabolic and activity rates determined from free-ranging juvenile scalloped hammerhead shark pups (Sphyrna lewini) in Kāne’ohe Bay, Ō’ahu, HI, were used to develop a simplified energy budget for this population. Five shark pups were tracked using a specially designed acoustic tail beat transmitter. Previous laboratory experiments determined that tail beat frequency (TBF) and water temperature ...
متن کاملConservation Genetics of the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark in the Pacific Coast of Colombia.
Previous investigations of the population genetics of the scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific have lacked information about nursery areas. Such areas are key to promoting conservation initiatives that can protect young sharks from threats such as overfishing. Here, we investigated the genetic diversity, phylogeography, and connectivity of S. lewini found...
متن کاملDemographic Processes Underlying Subtle Patterns of Population Structure in the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna lewini
Genetic diversity (θ), effective population size (N(e)), and contemporary levels of gene flow are important parameters to estimate for species of conservation concern, such as the globally endangered scalloped hammerhead shark, Sphyrna lewini. Therefore, we have reconstructed the demographic history of S. lewini across its Eastern Pacific (EP) range by applying classical and coalescent populati...
