Forebrain Organization in Elasmobranchs

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2012
It has long been known that many elasmobranch fishes have relatively large brains. The telencephalon, in particular, has increased in size in several groups, and as a percent of total brain weight, it is as large as in some mammals. Little is known, however, about the organization, connections, and functions of the telencephalon in elasmobranchs. Early

Ureogenesis in Elasmobranchs

Nature, 1958
So long ago as 1858, Staedeler and Frerichs1 discovered the presence of large amounts of urea in three species of elasmobranch fishes. Many more have been examined since that time, and it is known to-day that many, and probably all marine, elasmobranchs, including the Holocephali, contain 2–2.5 per cent of urea in their blood and tissues.

The elasmobranch pupillary response

Vision Research, 1971
Abstract 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 ...

Morphological abnormalities in elasmobranchs

Journal of Fish Biology, 2015
A 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

Vision in elasmobranchs

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1990
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 ...

Corticosteroids in plasma of elasmobranchs

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. Free corticosteroids were quantified by double isotope derivative assay in thirteen plasma samples from seven species of elasmobranchs. 2. 2. In each instance, four batoids and three selachians, 1α-hydroxycortico-sterone was the principal plasmatic corticosteroid. 3. 3.

Teleosts versus Elasmobranchs

2019
This chapter looks into the differences and similarities between the two groups of fish: the teleosts and the elasmobranchs. In the data analyses done so far in this volume, the fish most considered were the teleosts (Teleostei), which represent by far the dominant group, in terms of both biomass and living number of species.
