An essential question to answer when scientists want to understand the ecological role on any species is to identify if animals use the habitat for reproduction. This information can be used to inform and improve conservation and management programmes. With this in mind, we wanted to understand if the broadnose sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus) use certain Tasmanian coastal areas for reproductive purposes.
