A first estimate of white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, abundance off Central California.
The decline of sharks in the global oceans underscores the need for careful assessment and monitoring of remaining populations. The northeastern Pacific is the home range for a genetically distinct clade of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias). Little is known about the conservation status of this demographically isolated population, concentrated seasonally at two discrete aggregation sites: C...
متن کاملLong-term individual identification and site fidelity of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, off California using dorsal fins
Mark-recapture techniques can be used to estimate white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) population abundance. These frameworks are based on assumptions that marks are conserved and animals are present at the sampling location over the entire duration of the study. Though these assumptions have been validated across short-time scales for white sharks, long-term studies of population trends are de...
متن کاملA Re-Evaluation of the Size of the White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) Population off California, USA
White sharks are highly migratory and segregate by sex, age and size. Unlike marine mammals, they neither surface to breathe nor frequent haul-out sites, hindering generation of abundance data required to estimate population size. A recent tag-recapture study used photographic identifications of white sharks at two aggregation sites to estimate abundance in "central California" at 219 mature an...
متن کاملEvidence of Maternal Offloading of Organic Contaminants in White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias)
Organic contaminants were measured in young of the year (YOY) white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) incidentally caught in southern California between 2005 and 2012 (n = 20) and were found to be unexpectedly high considering the young age and dietary preferences of young white sharks, suggesting these levels may be due to exposure in utero. To assess the potential contributions of dietary expos...
متن کاملContaminants in Muscle and Liver tissue of Juvenile White Sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, from the Southern California Bight
The Southern California Bight (SCB) is thought to be a nursery ground for the White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) in the eastern north Pacific. Because of their proximity to highly urbanized coastline in the SCB, juvenile White Sharks are potentially exposed to relatively high levels of trace elements, heavy metals, and organochlorines. To assess potential exposure levels, concentrations of 17...
