Nonlethal age estimation of three threatened fish species using DNA methylation: Australian lungfish, Murray cod and Mary River cod
Age‐based demography is fundamental to management of wild fish populations. Age
estimates for individuals can determine rates of change in key life‐history parameters such …

Diagnosing the dangerous demography of manta rays using life history theory
Background. The directed harvest and global trade in the gill plates of mantas, and devil
rays, has led to increased fishing pressure and steep population declines in some locations …
