Eyes on the size: accuracy of visual length estimates of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias
Visual estimates have been used extensively to determine the length of large organisms that are logistically challenging to measure. However, there has been little effort to quantify the accuracy or validity of this technique despite inaccurate size estimates leading to incorrect population assessme...
