Maximum intrinsic rate of population increase in sharks, rays, and chimaeras: the importance of survival to maturity
The maximum intrinsic rate of population increase (r max ) is a commonly estimated demographic
parameter used in assessments of extinction risk. In teleosts, r max can be calculated …
