Early Life-History Implications of Selected Carcharhinoid and Lamnoid Sharks of the Northwest Atlantic
The size of most newborn sharks makes them susceptible to predation from their own kind and other large fishes. In the northwestern Atlantic, juvenile nursery grounds can be generally classified according to whether or not the young are exposed to such predatory risk. Several related factors-breedin...
