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 eyes of suckermouth armoured catfish (Loricariidae, subfamily Hypostomus): pupil response, lenticular longitudinal spherical aberration and retinal topography [PDF]

, 2002
The dilated, round pupils of a species of suckermouth armoured catfish (Liposarcus pardalis) constrict slowly on illumination (over 35-40 min) to form crescent-shaped apertures. Ray tracing of He-Ne laser beams shows that the lenses of a related species (

Elasmobranches Reproductive Potential

, 2014
Chondrichthyes species have a wide variety of reproductive strategies that can be broadly divided into two major categories: oviparous and viviparous species, the latter being further subdivided into aplacental (categorised in aplacental yolk sac, oophagy, adelphophagy, trophonemata) and placental species.
