The breeding biology of lemon sharks at a tropical nursery lagoon.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Aug 2002

Feldheim Kevin A, Gruber Samuel H, Ashley Mary V

Abstract excerpt

Surprisingly little is known about the reproductive behaviour and breeding biology of most shark species, especially in natural populations. Here, we characterize reproductive patterns and use of a natal nursery at Bimini, Bahamas by lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris. We systematically and exhaustively sampled young lemon sharks at Bimini annually from 1995 to 2000 and opportunistically sampled adults over the...
