Significant differences were observed in the percentage of recaptures between the different tag types, tagging programs, individual taggers and capture methods used to tag sharks. The annual tag retention rate for juvenile sharks, 94.19% (95% C.I. = 80.68% - 100.00%) was significantly higher than for adult sharks, estimated at 29.00% (95% C.I. = 6.76% - 64.39%). Tag reporting rates, from fishermen varied both spatially and temporally from 0.28 (95% C.I. = 0.00 – 0.63) to 0.77 (95% C.I. = 0.56 – 0.97). Associated tag wound damage and biofouling growth indicated that B-type tags were a suitable tag type for use on C. taurus, whereas C-type tags were not. The CJS bias-adjusted estimate for juvenile survival was 0.456 (95% C.I. = 0.367 – 0.516) and for adult sharks, 0.865 (95% C.I. = 0.795 – 0.915). From 1984 to 2004 the mean bias-adjusted population size for juvenile sharks was estimated at 3506 (95% C.I. = 2433 – 4350) and for adult sharks, 5899 (95% C.I. = 7216 – 11904). Trends in abundance over the 20-year study period indicated a stable, healthy population.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 07:00:36 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29419 Thu 13 May 2021 05:51:07 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1719 Thu 13 May 2021 05:33:14 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4094 Thu 13 May 2021 05:21:30 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39633 Thu 13 May 2021 04:22:40 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:36128 Thu 13 May 2021 02:02:22 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4114 Thu 13 May 2021 00:22:21 SAST ]]>
