They are characterised by having low fecundity and a long maturation period, taking approximately ten years to reach adult size.

This low fecundity leads to a low species resiliency with a minimum population doubling time of 4.5 to 14 years.

Threshers have a low fecundity, like all large sharks, and are highly vulnerable to overfishing.

Although individuals can live for up to 15 years, the species shows low fecundity, where small numbers of larvae hatch at an advanced stage.

This results in longer development time, higher larval mortality, lower fecundity in survivors, and smaller adult size.

Studies indicate it has a low fecundity, probably because of low flower and fruit production.

Its low fecundity and presumed slow growth rate make it highly vulnerable to unsustainable exploitation.

This species is highly susceptible to even moderate levels of fishing pressure, due to its restricted range, slow growth rate, and low fecundity.

The long gestation, low fecundity, and breaks in individual reproduction lead to slow repopulation ability.

However, this shark's very low fecundity would render it susceptible to population depletion should fishing pressure increase in the future.
