Special Issue: Age and Growth of Chondrichthyan Fishes: New Methods, Techniques and Analysis
Shark conservation and management is often hindered by a lack of basic biological information for most species. An understanding of the age structure and growth dynamics of a population is important for effective conservation and management because this information is often utilized for determinatio...
