| Abstract |
This study examined the reproduction and population structure of the blue-spotted maskray Neotrygon kuhlii within Moreton Bay, a subtropical embayment in south-east Queensland, Australia. Mean sizes at maturity were 314 mm disc width (W(D)) in females (n = 140, 115-465 mm W(D)) and 294 mm W(D) in males (n = 123, 129-381 mm W(D)). Female N. kuhlii had a synchronous annual reproductive cycle, with one litter of one to three pups (mean +/-s.d. 1.67 +/- 0.71) produced per year. Mating behaviours were observed in October and November, and ovulation occurred early in the Austral summer, overlapping with the start of embryonic development. Gestation took c. 4 months with parturition occurring in late February and March. Size at birth was 115-170 mm W(D). The population showed a significant female bias, particularly in larger size classes. Tagging studies produced a total recapture rate of 16.1% and indicated that N. kuhlii were site resident for up to 1081 days. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 October 2014.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Fish Biology
#1,693
of 5,120 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#38,264
of 107,031 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Fish Biology
#7
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,120 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 107,031 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
