Shark conservation and management is often hindered by a lack of
basic biological information for most species. An understanding of
the age structure and growth dynamics of a population is important
for effective conservation and management because this information
is often utilized for determination of natural mortality and
longevity. Ultimately age and growth information is used for
calculation of vital rates in population models. Over the last few
years there have been advances in the quantitative study of age and
growth of chondrichthyan fishes. Novel approaches to ageing of
various chondrichthyan fishes continue to arise. This volume is a
collection of papers on several of these topics that include new
hard parts (e.g. caudal thorns) for assessments of age, new
techniques for validation (e.g. bomb radiocarbon) and
reexaminations of previous age and growth models.
