Comments: | Sharks bearing early and mid-term embryos move from southeastern Australia to waters off South Australia (Ref. 26058), particularly the Great Australian Bight. They move back into the shallow bays and estuaries of eastern Bass Strait, eastern Victoria, and eastern and southern Tasmania (Ref. 26063) to give birth, then move away from the coast into deeper water after pupping. |
