Commercial sharks under scrutiny: Baseline genetic distinctiveness supports structured populations of small-spotted catsharks in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The present study, based on microsatellite markers, describes a population genetic analysis of the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula (Linnaeus, 1758), representing one of the most abundant and commonly caught cartilaginous fishes in the ...

Morphological characteristics of five bycatch sharks caught by southern Chilean demersal longline fisheries

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2008
The by-catch of sharks in artisanal demersal pink cusk-eel (Genypterus blacodes) and yellownose skate (Dipturus chilensis) fisheries is frequent within their fishing effort. Nevertheless, there is no registry of landings, which could help to control this

Deepwater and Other Sharks of the U.S. Atlantic Ocean Exclusive Economic Zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Fifty-one deepwater and other shark species of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, which currently are not included in any Federal fishery management plan, are described, with a focus on primary distribution.

The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

First evidence of population genetic structure of the deep-water blackmouth catshark Galeus melastomus Rafinesque, 1810

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Among the main measures adopted to reduce anthropogenic impacts on elasmobranch communities, understanding the ecology of deep-sea sharks is of paramount importance, especially for potentially vulnerable species highly represented in the bycatch ...

A nursery site of the Alaska skate (Bathyraja parmifera) in the eastern Bering Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A nursery site for the Alaska skate (Bathyraja parmifera) was sampled seasonally from June 2004 to July 2005. At the small nursery site (~2 km2), located in a highly productive area near the shelf-slope interface at the head of Bering Canyon in the ...

Visual Modelling to Predict Behavioural Responses of Catsharks, Skates, and Plaice to Artificial Light for Use in Bycatch Reduction

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 463-478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...

European Shark Fisheries: A Preliminary Investigation into Fisheries, Conversion Factors, Trade Products, Markets and Management Measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Recommends new regulations to prevent shark finning -- an illegal practice in which a shark's fins are removed and its carcass dumped at sea -- and stresses the urgent need for effective shark conservation ...

Testimonial of ecological and biogeographic patterns: parasite assemblages of deep water catsharks (Pentanchidae) in Icelandic waters

open access: yesParasitology
Pentanchids (Elasmobranchii) are among the most species-rich groups of chondrichthyans. In the North Atlantic Ocean, the Icelandic catshark [Apristurus laurussonii (Saemundsson)], white ghost catshark (Apristurus aphyodes Nakaya & Stehmann), and mouse ...
