Elasmobranchs in offshore wind farms

Ocean & Coastal Management
The development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in coastal seas presents both risks and opportunities for threatened elasmobranch populations, but their actual influence on elasmobranch presence and habitat use remains unclear. As more OWFs are planned, the lack of available space puts pressure on stakeholders to create multi-use areas as demands from ...

The artisanal elasmobranch fishery of the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, management implications

Scientia Marina, 2013
Artisanal fisheries in Mexico account for approximately 40% of the total national catch. In 2009, Baja California Sur (BCS) had the second largest catch of elasmobranchs on the Mexican Pacific coast.

Osmoregulation in Elasmobranchs [PDF]

American Zoologist, 1977
Osmoregulatory mechanisms were examined in major groups of fishes including hagfish, holocephalans, elasmobranchs, the coelacanth, and ray-fin fishes. Four main patterns of body fluid composition emerged. These represent the three main osmoregulatory processes in the marine environment and the one in fresh water.

Mitigation of Elasmobranch Bycatch in Trawlers: A Case Study in Indian Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Bycatch poses a significant threat to marine megafauna, such as elasmobranchs. India has one of the highest elasmobranch landings globally, through both targeted catch and bycatch.

Satellite Remote Sensing in Shark and Ray Ecology, Conservation and Management

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Global elasmobranch populations have declined dramatically over the past 50 years, and continued research into the drivers of their habitats and distributions is vital for improved conservation and management.

Diversity and distribution of elasmobranchs in the coastal waters of Cyprus: using bycatch data to inform management and conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionLoss of biodiversity in marine ecosystems is a globally acknowledged problem. To address this and avoid extinctions, improved conservation is required to protect and restore our oceans.

Artisanal elasmobranch fisheries of northwestern Baja California, Mexico

Ciencias Marinas, 2020
Elasmobranch species composition and spatiotemporal variability can often be characterized from landing surveys of local fisheries, with important management implications. In the present study, we describe the elasmobranch landing composition of 4 major

Additions to the Taxonomy of the Antarctic Dark-Mouth Skate Bathyraja arctowskii (Dollo, 1904), with Descriptions of the Syntypes and Morphology of Teeth, Dermal Denticles and Thorns

Diversity, 2023
The taxonomy of the enigmatic dark-mouth skate, Bathyraja arctowskii (Dollo, 1904), from the Southern Ocean was finally resolved after more than 100 years of ambiguity in 2021.

Oviparous elasmobranch development inside the egg case in 7 key stages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Embryological stages of oviparous elasmobranch during development can be difficult to identify, requiring magnification and/or fixation of an anaesthetized embryo.

An Exploratory Study of Telomere Length in the Deep-Sea Shark, Etmopterus granulosus

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The history of elasmobranch ageing highlights the difficulty of age estimation in animals lacking ossified structures. Ageing techniques are numerous, yet all are limited by difficulties of validation and verification and inherent subjectivity.
