Estimating the abundance of School Shark in Australia using close kin genetic methods

Close kin mark recapture (CKMR) provides an estimate of absolute abundance that is independent of fishing behaviour. We present a first CKMR estimate of abundance for School Shark and discuss the management implications of our findings. We found 65 half sibling pairs (HSPs), 3...
