Microbothriid (Monogenean) Infection and Treatment in Captive Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) [PDF]

Microorganisms
Unlike other microbothriid monogenean infections in elasmobranchs, limited information is available on the biology and treatment of Dermophthirius melanopteri. As parasitic infection with D.

Sex-based differences in movement and space use of the blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Information on the spatial ecology of reef sharks is critical to understanding life-history patterns, yet gaps remain in our knowledge of how these species move and occupy space.

Comparison of Physicochemical and Structural Properties of Acid-Soluble and Pepsin-Soluble Collagens from Blacktip Reef Shark Skin [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2022
Fish collagen has been widely used in tissue engineering (TE) applications as an implant, which is generally transplanted into target tissue with stem cells for better regeneration ability.

A blacktip's black tip: The reliability of using dorsal-fin patterns for photo identification of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Photo identification (photo ID) has increasingly become a valuable technique serving not only to identify individual animals but also to monitor populations, track migration patterns and assess wildlife health, among others uses.

Genetic evidence for plastic reproductive philopatry and matrotrophy in blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) of the Moorea Island (French Polynesia) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
The exploitation of sharks and the degradation of their habitats elevate the urgency to understand the factors that influence offspring survival and ultimately shark reproductive success.

Quantifying changes in umbilicus size to estimate the relative age of neonatal blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus). [PDF]

Conserv Physiol, 2023
Live-bearing shark species are inherently born with an open wound, the umbilicus. The healing status of this umbilicus can be used to estimate the age of newborn sharks.

Demographic inferences after a range expansion can be biased: the test case of the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus). [PDF]

Heredity (Edinb), 2019
The evolutionary history of species is a dynamic process as they modify, expand, and contract their spatial distributions over time. Range expansions (REs) occur through a series of founder events that are followed by migration among neighboring demes.

First record of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus, is one of the most common Indo-Pacific reef sharks. On April 29, 2012, a juvenile male blacktip reef shark measuring 89 cm total length (TL), was incidentally caught during a research expedition in ...

The Role of Integrin Receptor's α and β Subunits of Mouse Mesenchymal Stem Cells on the Interaction of Marine-Derived Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) Skin Collagen. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Marine collagen (MC) has recently attracted more attention in tissue engineering as a biomaterial substitute due to its significant role in cellular signaling mechanisms, especially in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Huffmanela selachii n. sp. (Nematoda: Trichosomoididae: Huffmanelinae): A new species infecting the skin of the great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran) and the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) in the Arabian Gulf, off-shore Saudi Arabia. [PDF]

Saudi J Biol Sci, 2022
From January 2017 - December 2019, 75 out of 850 (8.8 %) great hammerhead sharks from the Arabian Gulf had skin lesions of black irregular discolorations on the ventral surface of the head.
