  abstract = {{S}harks play important functional roles in coral reef ecosystems. {S}tudying reef shark populations' spatial ecology also contributes important data for effective conservation planning. {T}he purpose of this study was to define the home range of neonatal blacktip reef sharks ({C}archarhinus melanopterus) around {M}oorea, {F}rench {P}olynesia, and compare estimates using both mark-recapture surveys and active acoustic telemetry. {M}ark-recapture surveys produced a minimum convex polygon ({MCP}) of 0.07 km(2) that was significantly larger than the {MCP} derived from acoustic telemetry (0.02 km(2)). {A}coustic telemetry produced 50 and 95% kernel utilization densities that were smaller (0.02 km(2)) and larger (0.14 km(2)) than home range estimates from mark-recapture surveys, respectively. {H}ome range estimates from this study are the smallest that have been documented for neonatal blacktip reef sharks, possibly owing to the study sites' proximity to deep channels. {M}ark-recapture and active acoustic telemetry are complementary approaches worthy of consideration where passive telemetry is impractical.},
