Elasmobranchs small-scale fishery in Guatemala: Socioeconomic aspects and value chain structure

Social Sciences and Humanities Open
Small-scale fishing (SSF) stands as a cornerstone of economic activity along Guatemala's coastlines. Fisheries products, including those derived from elasmobranchs, serve as vital sources of income for fishers and dealers.

Insights into the structure of grey reef shark aggregation, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker, 1856), in two distinct channels of the Maldivian archipelago, Indian Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The grey reef shark Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos is one of the most frequently encountered reef‐associated shark species in the Maldives, yet very little is known about its local size structure or population dynamics. This study provides new insights into two aggregations of C.

Artisanal elasmobranch fisheries of northwestern Baja California, Mexico

Ciencias Marinas, 2020
Elasmobranch species composition and spatiotemporal variability can often be characterized from landing surveys of local fisheries, with important management implications. In the present study, we describe the elasmobranch landing composition of 4 major

Pigmentation disorders in three specimens of spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias Linnaeus, 1758, from the Gulf of Venice, northern Adriatic Sea

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study reports three cases of pigmentation disorders in Squalus acanthias from the Gulf of Venice. Two specimens exhibited spotless phenotypes, whereas one exhibited hypermelanism. Morphological assessments were conducted for two individuals, alongside genetic analysis of mitochondrial genes to determine phylogeographic relationships. Both
