The elasmobranch pupillary response
Vision Research, 1971Abstract The rate and extent of the pupillary response to light and darkness were determined for a variety of sharks and rays. Dilation required 1–60 min and constriction 1–30 min, depending on the species. All responses were non-consensual. The dilator muscle was controlled by the third cranial nerve, which probably exerts a constant dilatory tonus ...

The Acoustical Biology of Elasmobranchs
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2001A report on the auditory capabilities and their associated functions of elasmobranch fishes along with a brief review of the physics of underwater sound as it relates to hearing by fishes is provided. The inner ears of elasmobranchs possess structures that are no different from other fishes, except for an enlarged macula neglecta, which is unique among

The density of 18 species, measured by weighing them in sea water and in air, was found to vary widely. The weights of these fish in sea water ranged from about 7 % to less than 1 % of their air weights.

Morphological abnormalities in elasmobranchs
Journal of Fish Biology, 2015A total of 10 abnormal free‐swimming (i.e. post‐birth) elasmobranchs are reported from The (Persian–Arabian) Gulf, encompassing five species and including deformed heads, snouts, caudal fins and claspers. The complete absence of pelvic fins in a milk shark Rhizoprionodon acutus may be the first record in any elasmobranch. Possible causes, including the

The fossil record of extant elasmobranchs
Journal of Fish Biology, 2020AbstractSharks and their relatives (Elasmobranchii) are highly threatened with extinction due to various anthropogenic pressures. The abundant fossil record of fossil taxa has allowed the tracing of the evolutionary history of modern elasmobranchs to at least 250 MYA; nonetheless, exactly how far back the fossil record of living taxa goes has never ...

Man has been fascinated with elasmobranchs — the sharks, skates and rays — for centuries. The visual sense of these sometimes-dangerous creatures has been much maligned; elasmobranchs have been described as seeing poorly and only at night. Since the last large review on vision in elasmobranchs (Gruber and Cohen, 1978), the field has expanded greatly ...

The Subclass Elasmobranchii is widely considered nowadays to be the sister group of the Subclass Holocephali, although chimaeroid fishes were originally classified as elasmobranchs along with modern sharks and rays. While this modern systematic treatment provides an accurate reflection of the phylogenetic relationships among extant taxa, the ...

Anatomy and Embryology, 1985
The nephron and collecting ducts of the little skate (Raja erinacea) and spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) have been investigated by light microscopy of semi-thin sections. Parts of the tubules (collecting ducts and distal segments) were identified after tubular injections with Microfil or carbon.

STEROIDS OF THE SEMEN OF ELASMOBRANCH FISH
Journal of Endocrinology, 1963Abstract A recent report (Simpson, Wright & Gottfried, 1963) from this laboratory describes the occurrence of 11-deoxycorticosterone with minor quantities of progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, pregn-5-en-3β-ol-20-one, androst-4-ene-3:17-dione and possibly of androsterone in semen of the ovo-viviparous dogfish Squalus acanthias.

Genetic damage in elasmobranchs: A review
Environmental Toxicology and PharmacologyDNA integrity is crucial for organismal health, and assessing DNA damage in aquatic organisms is essential for identifying environmental threats and informing conservation efforts. Pollutants such as metals, hydrocarbons, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and climate change are linked to genetic damage, oxidative stress, and mutagenesis in several ...
