Using biotelemetry to assess drone effects on whale sharks
Abstract The use of unoccupied aerial vehicles or drones for wildlife research has proliferated in recent years and they have proven to be a valuable tool for collecting data for population surveys, morphometric and body condition measurements, and for observing behavior.

Occurrence of the hemoparasite Cyrilia spp. in the Amazonian stingray Potamotrygon wallacei [PDF]
Freshwater stingrays play a crucial ecological role in the Amazon; however, studies on their parasitic fauna still need to be made available. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of hemoparasites, specifically Cyrilia spp., in specimens of ...

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

Multiple Cone Visual Pigments and the Potential for Trichromatic Colour Vision in Two Species of Elasmobranch [PDF]
Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are the modern descendents of the first jawed vertebrates and, as apex predators, often occupy the highest trophic levels of aquatic (predominantly marine) ecosystems.

ABSTRACT Quantifying discard survival of species is crucial for effective fishery management. Electronic tags and visual health assessments were used to estimate postrelease survival of commercially caught thornback ray (Raja clavata), undulate ray (Raja undulata) and small‐eyed ray (Raja microocellata) from Northeast Atlantic inshore fisheries ...

ABSTRACT Epigenomic changes are a hallmark of aging, and DNA methylation (DNAm) has emerged as the most reliable molecular marker of an individual's age. Genome‐wide patterns of age‐associated hypo‐ and hypermethylation have been applied to generate predictive models (i.e., “epigenetic clocks”) capable of estimating chronological age in an increasingly

Working Group on Elasmobranch Fishes (WGEF) [PDF]
ICES WGEF meets annually and is responsible for providing assessments and advice on the state of the stocks of sharks, skates, and rays throughout the ICES area. In 2020, WGEF provided ad-vice for 28 stocks of rays and skates distributed in two ecoregions: the Celtic Seas and the Bay of Biscay and Iberian coast.
