Table 2. Range of tissue incorporation rates used to approximate white shark incorporation rate.

Species Incorporation rate (d−1) Half life (d) Reference
Sandbar shark 0.0060 (0.003) 129 (66) [74]
Allometrically scaled bird 0.0028 (0.0001) 258 (46) [77]
Allometrically scaled fish 0.0018 (0.0001) 394 (42) [75]

All rates are for muscle tissue. Incorporation rate estimates are in days (d) and are reported as mean ± SE, whereas half life estimates are mean ± SD.
