Shark measurements were obtained from sharks caught as bycatch in trawls undertaken in the Albatross Bay region. This is commercial data obtained from the fishing industry, and the fishing vessel used was the FV Dampier Pearl, an NPF trawler. Data includes species, weight, length, sex, whether the animals were alive or dead, and whether turtle excluding devices (TEDs) were present on the nets. This data should be used in conjuction with additional information that may be found in the original cruise reports. (Also see comments regarding Dataset Completeness/Quality).
