Western Australian Coastal Shark Bites: A risk assessment
Background As Western Australia’s (WA) Government enacts shark bite mitigation, the personal risk of shark bite in WA has not been studied. Aims Model the risk of large (>3m) white shark bite (Carcharodon carcharias, LWS) in southwest WA. Method Observational study, 1/1/1974 to 31/12/2013. Analysis of prey abundance, location, water temperature and water activity participation. Shark bite risk ...

متن کاملFeeding biomechanics and theoretical calculations of bite force in bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) during ontogeny.
Evaluations of bite force, either measured directly or calculated theoretically, have been used to investigate the maximum feeding performance of a wide variety of vertebrates. However, bite force studies of fishes have focused primarily on small species due to the intractable nature of large apex predators. More massive muscles can generate higher forces and many of these fishes attain immense...
متن کاملDetermining shark size from forensic analysis of bite damage
Bite damage patterns have long been used to estimate shark species and body size, with somewhat limited success. The lack of Wt between damage patterns and shark size is partially due to variation in tooth size and shape within an individual. The ability to accurately predict body size from bite patterns is important for better understanding the ecological and behavioral underpinnings of shark ...
متن کاملBite force and performance in the durophagous bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo.
Bite force, a measure of performance, can be used to link anatomical form and function. Earlier studies have shown bite force to have a significant influence on dietary constraints and ontogenetic shifts in resource utilization. The bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo, is a durophagous member of the family Sphyrnidae. Its diet in South Florida waters consists almost entirely of blue crabs, which a...
