Article Synopsis
- Conservation and management of white sharks are hindered by insufficient demographic data, particularly regarding their age and growth rates.
- Researchers utilized radiocarbon dating to estimate the age of white sharks, revealing that the largest female was up to 40 years old and the largest male was 73 years old.
- These findings extend the understanding of white shark longevity, suggest potential differences in growth rates between genders, and indicate that white shark populations may be more vulnerable to human activities than earlier believed.
