Multi-tissue RNA-seq and transcriptome characterisation of the spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) provides a molecular tool for biological research and reveals new genes involved in osmoregulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) is one of the most commonly used cartilaginous fishes in biological research, especially in the fields of nitrogen metabolism, ion transporters and osmoregulation.

Parasitic fauna of spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias L. off New Zealand [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1984
A total of 55 individuals of Squalus acanthias were subject to detailed parasitologic examination. Eight parasite species belonging to the Monogenea, Cestoda, Trematoda, Nematoda, and Copepoda were found.

Differential expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms in cardiac segments of gnathostome vertebrates and its evolutionary implications

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background Immunohistochemical studies of hearts from the lesser spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula (Chondrichthyes) revealed that the pan-myosin heavy chain (pan-MyHC) antibody MF20 homogeneously labels all the myocardium, while the pan-MyHC ...

Delineation and mapping of coastal shark habitat within a shallow lagoonal estuary.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks. Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and provides a variety of potential

Reproductive biology of lesser spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula (L., 1758) in the Cantabrian Sea

Scientia Marina, 1998
This paper examines sexual maturity of the female lesser spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula (L., 1758) in the Cantabrian Sea (north of Spain). Analyses made using data collected from commercial trawlers during 1994 and 1995 showed that females reach ...

Experience of spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias interactions with aquaculture installations in Norway

Frontiers in Aquaculture
The spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) is a common shark species found along the Norwegian coast. This coast is also utilized for salmon farming, and farmers report incidents of spiny dogfish biting through nets and often entering the fish cages.

Histochemistry on vibratome sections of fish tissue: a comparison of fixation and embedding methods

Aquatic Biology, 2015
Despite improvements in imaging techniques during recent years, for many non-model systems the fixation of tissues followed by embedding and sectioning for histochemical or immunohistochemical staining remains an important technique in vertebrate ...

Effects of exposure to large sharks on the abundance and behavior of mobile prey fishes along a temperate coastal gradient.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Top predators can exert strong influences on community structure and function, both via direct, consumptive effects, as well as through non-consumptive, fear-based effects (i.e. predation risk).

Three-dimensional movements of the pectoral fin during yaw turns in the Pacific spiny dogfish, Squalus suckleyi

Biology Open, 2019
Fish pectoral fins move in complex ways, acting as control surfaces to affect force balance during swimming and maneuvering. Though objectively less dynamic than their actinopterygian relatives, shark pectoral fins undergo complex conformational changes ...
