ELASMOBRANCH DIVERSITY OF KALIMANTAN WATERS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A total of 2,310 individuals of elasmobranch fishes consisting of 60 species from 13 families were recorded from survey trips in Kalimantan waters. Six fish landing sites and markets in four provinces of Kalimantan were visited from September 2005 to ...

Evolution and ecology of feeding in elasmobranchs [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2007
Paleozoic chondrichthyans had a large gape, numerous spike-like teeth, limited cranial kinesis, and a non-suspensory hyoid, suggesting a feeding mechanism dominated by bite and ram. Modern sharks are characterized by a mobile upper jaw braced by a suspensory hyoid arch that is highly kinetic.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

The Sardinian large elasmobranch database [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Elasmobranchs have been recorded off Sardinia (Central Mediterranean Sea) since ancient times, however their biodiversity has been little studied until now.

Tooth morphology of deep‐water catsharks of the genus Apristurus (Chondrichthyes: Pentanchidae) in the North Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The deep‐water catshark family (Pentanchidae) is the most species‐rich family among extant shark lineages. Within this family, the genus Apristurus is the largest, comprising small, deep‐sea species characterised by elongated bodies and dorso‐ventrally compressed snouts. Five Apristurus species are currently recognised from the North Atlantic,

Specific setup and methodology for computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) in evaluating elasmobranch sperm

open access: yesTheriogenology Wild
1. One-third of elasmobranch species are threatened with extinction, and the precise assessment of their sperm parameters and quality is one stage in the development of reproductive technology for animal conservation. 2. Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis (

Quantifying post‐release behaviour of a critically endangered elasmobranch over two capture events using high‐resolution archival tag data

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract During catch‐and‐release angling, highly resident species are susceptible to multiple recapture events. Biologging offers the opportunity to study post‐release behaviour in detail; however, most studies have focused on a single capture‐release event.

Reproductive biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Several reproductive specializations are found within the elasmobranchs. All elasmobranchs fertilize internally and produce a relatively small number of large eggs. Elasmobranch fecundity generally ranges from one to two offspring produced a year up to a

Shark preferences: Only subtle effects of electromagnetic field exposure and substrate type on small‐spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) behaviour

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Offshore wind energy plays a crucial role in the transition to low‐carbon power generation. The expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs) introduces anthropogenic electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from subsea power cables. Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are sensitive to natural electric and magnetic fields used for navigation and prey ...
