	abstract = {Laser photogrammetry was found to be a promising new cost-effective technique for measuring free-swimming whale sharks Rhincodon typus. Photogrammetric measurements were more precise than visual size estimates by experienced researchers, with results from the two methods differing by 9{\textperiodcentered} 8 {\textpm} 1{\textperiodcentered} 1\% (mean {\textpm}s.e.). A new metric of total length and the length between the fifth gill and first dorsal fin (r2 = 0{\textperiodcentered} 93) is proposed to facilitate easy, accurate length measurements of whale sharks in the field.},
