Size composition of white sharks enumerated near the Farallon Islands and Tomales Point, California, USA.

Estimated total lengths ([TL] cm) of 130 white sharks (74 male, 32 female, and 24 unsexed) from Jorgensen et al. [19] were binned into 30 cm (∼1 ft) intervals. These data most likely represent the size and sex distribution of white sharks in Chapple et al.'s [22] mark-recapture population abundance estimates.
