Characterization of 35 new microsatellite markers for the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) and cross-species amplification in eight other shark species
Background Shark species are overfished at a global scale, as they are poached for the
finning industry or are caught as bycatch. Efficient conservation measures require fine-scale …
