Freshwater Stingray Embryos Store Yolk in Their Intestinal Epithelial Cells [PDF]
Intestines of freshwater stingray embryos sampled in South America were examined histologically. During embryonic development, yolk, which is transported through the yolk stalk from the external yolk sac, appeared to be accumulating in the intestinal ...

One of the hallmarks of acute inflammation is neutrophil infiltration of tissues. We investigated molecular mechanisms implicated in acute neutrophilic inflammation induced by the venom of a freshwater stingray (Potamotrygon cf. henlei) in mice.

ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...

The structurally controlled Otūwhero estuary on the SE boundary of Abel Tasman National Park is a small partially filled incised valley. The small size, limited number of fluvial inputs, accessibility and surrounding land use made it an ideal candidate on which to investigate potential climate‐induced estuarine behaviour. Surficial sediment samples and

The feasibility of developing multi-taxa indicators for landscape scale assessment of freshwater systems [PDF]
The use of bird assemblages as wetland indicators is now well established in the UK. An indicator based on a single taxonomic group can, however, have limitations. Conversely, a multi-taxa approach can potentially provide a more robust ...

On the liver tissue of freshwater stingrays and balloonfish.
Using the freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon spp. and the balloonfish Diodon holacanthus, an investigation was carried out on the liver size and the amount of fat droplets in hepatocytes and the following results were obtained. The liver of the stingrays was relatively small in size among Chondrichthyes and the value of hepatosomatic index (HSI) on six ...

CITES Appendix III: An underused tool for international wildlife trade regulation
Appendix III of CITES allows Parties to unilaterally extend domestic species protections to international trade, yet it remains vastly underused, covering just 1.3% of listed species. Drawing on the complete historical record since 1975, we show that Appendix III is most effective for endemic species and functions as a highly successful staging ...

This work aimed to describe and quantify the tissue components of the digestive tube of the neotropical freshwater stingray, Potamotrygon wallacei. For this, conventional histology and stereological methods were used to estimate tissue volume.

ABSTRACT Aim Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, is a globally significant refuge for many marine megafauna species. The recent designation of a marine park in Exmouth Gulf underscores its environmental, social and cultural significance but remains a site of competing interests.
