Between April 2018 and May 2019, 58 individuals were recorded from artisanal gillnet fisheries operating in the region. Most specimens were identified as neonates or young\u2010of\u2010the\u2010year (YOY) based on total length and presence of umbilical scars. Kernel density estimation revealed spatially structured aggregations, with neonates concentrated in shallow reef\u2010associated areas. Temporal variation in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indicated recruitment pulses during late summer and early autumn, consistent with localized parturition. Although the study was limited to 1\u2009year and subject to gear selectivity, the predominance of neonates and YOY, their persistence across consecutive months, and the absence of mature sharks suggest localized use by early life stages. These findings partially meet recognized nursery criteria and highlight the ecological significance of the Abrolhos Bank for\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>S. mokarran<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    .
