movement of blue shark, prionace glauca, in the north-east atlantic based on mark–recapture data

a shark tagging programme along the portuguese coast was initiated in 2001 in collaboration with the national marine fisheries service. from a total of 168 blue sharks ( prionace glauca ) tagged, 34 sharks were recaptured (20% return rate) providing important information on this species' moveme...
