Biological information was collected from 214 individuals of the broadfin shark Lamiopsis temminckii measuring 418 to 1782 mm total length, L T . Size at maturity ( L 50 ) for females and males was estimated at 1430 and 1368 mm L T , respectively, while mature and gravid females were observed from 1350 mm L T with litter sizes 2–8 and size at birth 418–650 mm L T .
