Twenty-First-Century Environmental Change Decreases Habitat Overlap of Antarctic Toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) and Its Prey. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Antarctic toothfish are a commercially exploited upper‐level predator in the Southern Ocean, but knowledge on how Antarctic toothfish and its prey respond to environmental change remains incomplete. In this study, we employ the extended aerobic growth index to quantify changes in predator–prey viable habitat overlap in response to changes in ...

Threatened fish species in the Northeast Atlantic are functionally rare

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 10, Page 1827-1845, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The criteria used to define the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories are essentially based on demographic parameters at the species level, but they do not integrate species' traits or their roles in ecosystems.

A holistic and comprehensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 516-528, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north‐eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best explained as two species, the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) and the common blue skate (D ...

First record of partial albinism in the critically endangered Angelshark (Squatina squatina) (Linnaeus, 1758)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 2, Page 439-442, August 2023., 2023
Abstract We report the first case of partial albinism in the Critically Endangered angelshark, Squatina squatina. The encounter with this specimen took place while SCUBA diving on the beach of Tufia, located on the east coast of the island of Gran Canaria on 2 April 2021.

Seamount coral reefs are egg case nurseries for deep‐sea skates

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 102, Issue 6, Page 1455-1469, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Egg case nurseries of the boreal skate (Amblyraja hyperborea) and Richardson's skate (Bathyraja richardsoni) were defined and mapped on a bathyal seascape (c. 500–1900 m depths) south of Tasmania, Australia, using 99 towed‐camera transects (157 linear km; N = 50,858 images).

Food habits of the broad nose skate, Bathyraja brachyurops (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae), in the south-west Atlantic

Scientia Marina, 2008
Food habits of Bathyraja brachyurops were studied based on stomach content analyses of 346 specimens collected from research cruises carried out from 2003 to 2005 on the Argentinean continental shelf (36ºS-55ºS). A total of 265 stomachs (76.6%) contained

Diving into the diet of provisioned smooth stingrays using stable isotope analysis

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 102, Issue 5, Page 1206-1218, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Recreational fishing waste, produced from processing catches at shore‐based fish cleaning facilities and discarded into adjacent waters, is foraged by various aquatic species. However, the potential alterations to the diet of consumers of these resources are poorly studied.

First report of an egg nursery for the Critically Endangered flapper skate Dipturus intermedius (Rajiformes: Rajidae)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 10, Page 1647-1659, October 2022., 2022
Abstract This study provides the first report of an egg nursery for the Critically Endangered flapper skate Dipturus intermedius and a description of the habitat, thus contributing towards our understanding of essential habitats for the species. In total, 1,395 flapper skate egg cases were recorded (accounting for overlapping surveys) in two egg case ...
