Quantifying shark depredation in a recreational fishery in the Ningaloo Marine Park and Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia
Shark depredation, where a shark consumes a hooked fish before it can be retrieved to the
fishing vessel, can occur in recreational fisheries. This may cause higher mortality rates in …
