Catch and biological data for blacktip reef sharks sampled in the inshore GBRWHA 2008 - 2011 (MTSRF 4.8.4, JCU)
- Catch data from fisheries independent sampling in inshore habitats (inshore reefs, intertidal flats/foreshores, seagrasses and mangroves) of the GBRWHA (Cleveland Bay and Halifax Bay) using bottom-set multihook research lines (long lines) geared to capturing sharks
- Data includes catch and effort data for all species captured.
- Data includes biological data of captured blacktip reef sharks - BTS (Carcharhinus melanopterus).
- Data also includes simple water quality parameters for sample locations (temperature, secchi disc depth, dissolved oxygen, salinity measured with a YSI).
- Data also includes catch and biological data of BTS taken in a commercial fishery observer program (MTSRF 4.8.4)
- Data set runs from October 2008 to May 2012
Data units
- Catch per unit effort
- BTS size and sex
- BTS reproductive data (mating scars, clasper length and calcification)
- BTS age and growth data
- BTS tagging and tag-recapture data
