Résumé
Data were collected over ten consecutive parturition seasons (2013-2023) as part of long-term, fisheries-independent surveys carried out as a collaboration with the Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l’Environnement (CRIOBE) and the Physioshark Research Programme around Moorea, French Polynesia (17° 30’ S, 149° 50’ W). During these surveys, neonatal and juvenile blacktip reef sharks were caught using a 50 × 1.5 m gillnet with 5-cm mesh size set perpendicular to shore. Please see accompanying text (McInturf et al., 2025; Ecology & Evolution) for details.
