Shark jaws and teeth: an unexploited resource for population genetic studies

Declines in shark populations worldwide are of particular concern to fishery managers and conservation biologists. Molecular‐based technologies provide an efficient means to collect basic life‐history information and estimates of dispersal that are critical to management. A novel method for obtainin...

Summary:Declines in shark populations worldwide are of particular concern to fishery managers and conservation biologists. Molecular‐based technologies provide an efficient means to collect basic life‐history information and estimates of dispersal that are critical to management. A novel method for obtaining high quality mtDNA from shark jaws and teeth for shark population genetic studies is described.
