The deep sea is a relatively stable environment, characterized by cold temperatures and poor or absent light. Relative to inshore shelf habitats, the ocean's deepwater environments remain poorly known. The continued expansion of global fishing into the deep ocean has raised new concerns about the ability of deepwater organisms to sustain the pressures ...

Biogeographic patterns in the Australian chondrichthyan fauna
Journal of Fish Biology, 2011The major biogeographic structure and affinities of the Australian chondrichthyan fauna were investigated at both interregional and intraregional scales and comparisons made with adjacent bioregions. Faunal lists were compiled from six geographical regions with species from these regions assigned to distributional classes and broad habitat categories ...

Mineralized cartilage in the skeleton of chondrichthyan fishes
Zoology, 2006The cartilaginous endoskeleton of chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) exhibits complex arrangements and morphologies of calcified tissues that vary with age, species, feeding behavior, and location in the body. Understanding of the development, evolutionary history and function of these tissue types has been hampered by the lack of a ...

Is there a chondrichthyan bioaccumulation paradigm?
2006This paper is a synthesis of our current investigations to evaluate bioaccumulatory characteristics of chondrichthyans. The bioaccumulation of seven heavy metals and radionuclides (241Am, 109Cd, 57Co, 51Cr, 134Cs, 54Mn and 65Zn) from seawater were experimentally compared in the chondrichthyan Scyliorhinus canicula (spotted dogfish) and the ...

Chondrichthyan phylogeny: a look at the evidence
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 1984ABSTRACT Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and holocephalans) are subjected to cladistic analysis in order to identify possible monophyletic groups. Chondrichthyan monophyly is established on the basis of several apomorphic characters, of which the most convincing is the presence of a mineralized layer of prismatic perichondral tissue of a unique type ...

The Origin and Relationships of Early Chondrichthyans
2012Chondrichthyan shes are probably the most successful of all shes if success is measured in terms of historical endurance. Indeed, they have survived the mass extinctions of the last 400 million years or so. They are essentially dened by a cartilaginous skeleton that is supercially mineralized by prismatic calcications (tesserae) and by the ...

Reproductive endocrinology in chondrichthyans: The present and the future
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2013The class Chondrichthyes, that includes Elasmobranchii and Holocephali, is a diverse group of fish occupying a key position at the base of vertebrate evolution. Their evolutionary success is greatly attributed to their wide range of reproductive strategies controlled by different endocrine mechanics.

The Effects of Fishing on Chondrichthyans
2016Global fishing activity is major threat to chondrichthyan (sharks, rays and chimaeras) populations. The effects of fishing are predominantly estimated by quantifying immediate and post-capture mortality rates. However, the true effect of fishing is likely to be underestimated, because measuring the mortality rates of released animals is logistically ...
