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.
