What does ageing tell us about smooth-hound #sharks’ resilience? New age and growth estimates help answer that 🦈

By analysing vertebral bands and growth models, Briones-Mendoza et al. provided the first reliable growth parameters for two smooth-hound species in the eastern #Pacific.

Great! ... Please big funding groups take notice to prioritise $ where most needed, like basic life history of non-sexy but data poor sharks and rays...for example, in our recent assessment, i had to borrow data from related species to provide management advice on stock status of several species 😢
