Draughtboard Shark (Cephaloscyllium laticeps) tagging and recapture in Southern Tasmania

Between January 2000 and January 2007, sharks were tagged during routine fishery dependent and independent rock lobster catch sampling trips around southwestern and eastern Tasmania and in the Crayfish Point Reserve. For each shark, sex, total length and clasper length (males) were recorded.

Statement
Each shark was tagged with a 35 mm yellow standard Rototag (Daltons, Henly-on-Thames, England) externally attached to the second dorsal fin. For each shark, sex total length and clasper length (males) were recorded. Recapture rate was determined, and recapture revealed both time at liberty and distance travelled for individuals.
