Cleaned survey data for juvenile blacktip reef sharks in Moorea, French Polynesia (2013-2023)

Data were collected over ten consecutive parturition seasons (2013-2023) as part of long-term, fisheries-independent surveys carried out as a collaboration with the Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l’Environnement (CRIOBE) and the Physioshark Research Programme around Moorea, French Polynesia (17° 30’ S, 149° 50’ W). During these surveys, neonatal and juvenile blacktip reef sharks were caught using a 50 × 1.5 m gillnet with 5-cm mesh size set perpendicular to shore. Please see accompanying text (McInturf et al., 2025; Ecology & Evolution) for details.

本数据集的采集工作覆盖2013至2023年连续10个产仔季，相关数据来自法属波利尼西亚莫雷阿岛（17°30′S，149°50′W）周边的长期非渔业依赖型调查项目。该调查由法国海洋岛屿研究与环境观测中心（Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l’Environnement，CRIOBE）与Physioshark研究计划合作开展。调查期间，研究人员使用网目尺寸为5厘米、规格50×1.5米的刺网（gillnet）垂直于岸线布设，用以捕获新生及幼年黑鳍礁鲨。详细研究细节请参见随附文献（McInturf等人，2025；Ecology & Evolution）。
