Effective size closely approximates the census size in the heavily exploited western Atlantic population of the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus

The sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, is a long-lived species with low lifetime fecundity that is heavily fished in the western North Atlantic. Inshore nursery grounds increase survivorship of sandbar shark pups and the principal nurseries are in the mid-Atlantic region. We calculated effective...
