MF24222Assessment of multiple paternity in spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna) litters from eastern Australian waters


This study has provided a novel assessment and confirmation of multiple paternity as a mating strategy for the commercially important spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna). We achieved this with the application of genetic techniques to infer sibships and identify paternities. We make considerations for these findings in the context of existing hypotheses and highlight areas for future research to take place.
