Efferent branchial artery reactivity in the Blacktip reef shark, Carckarhinus melanopterus (Carcharhinidae: Elasmobranchii)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology, 1996
Efferent branchial arterial ring preparations from the Blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus, were used to investigate the tissue reactivity to a range of pharmacological agents. The arterial responses elicited by adrenaline and noradrenaline were somewhat variable.

The response of gastric pH and motility to fasting and feeding in free swimming blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2007
In many fish and reptiles, gastric digestion is responsible for the complete breakdown of prey items into semi-liquid chyme. The responses of the stomach to feeding and to periods of fasting are, however, unknown for many lower vertebrates. We inserted data loggers into the stomachs of free-swimming captive adult blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus ...

Shark bite wounds of the valvular intestine: The cause of an acute mortality syndrome of captive blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus

Zoo Biology, 1991
AbstractDuring 1987–1990 nine cases of mortality in captive blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) were attributed to bite wounds to the valvular intestine. Necropsies revealed lacerations, amputation of the scroll valve folds, or complete severance of the valvular intestine.

Determining Blacktip Reef Shark ( Carcharhinus melanopterus ) Paternity Using Novel Microsatellite Loci for Studbook Utilization

Zoo Biology
ABSTRACT From May 2016 until December 2018, a group of blacktip reef sharks ( Carcharhinus melanopterus ) at Shedd Aquarium successfully produced six litters. These multiple successful breeding events provided the opportunity to develop and characterize microsatellite loci ...

Connectivity and population structure of blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus, in two islands in Terengganu, Malaysia

2016
In the last decades sharks and their population dynamics are increasingly studied because of their importance for the ecosystems and their high sensitivity to overfishing and anthropological activities, due to their long gestation period, slow reproducing rate, slow growth, and high level of maternal investment (Dulvy et al., 2014).
