Using citizen science photographs to identify reproductive events in an oviparous elasmobranch
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 419-430, August 2025.Abstract Identifying critical habitats is important for the effective management of vulnerable species. Critical habitats, such as mating or nursery grounds, support populations during key life stages and help to maximise reproductive output and population growth. In elasmobranchs, mating often happens over a defined season, suggesting sites associated

Analysis of permanent magnets as elasmobranch bycatch reduction devices in hook-and-line and longline trials [PDF]
, 2011 Previous studies indicate that elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates and rays) detect the Earth’s geomagnetic field by indirect magnetoreception through electromagnetic induction, using their ampullae of Lorenzini. Applying this concept, we evaluated the

Ecologica Montenegrina, 2019 Blacktip reef sharks Carcharhinus melanopterus were caught and photographed by local people on 6 March 2019 during a flash flood in Sentani, Jayapura district, Papua province, Indonesia. The presence of C. melanopterus in Sentani represents the first inland record (c. 20 km) for this species in Indonesia.
