New findings into the genetic population structure of two commercially valuable and threatened sharks, Mustelus mustelus (Linnaeus, 1758) and M. punctulatus (Risso, 1827), allow refining management strategy in the Central Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science
Elasmobranch species are the direct or accidental catch of fisheries and can have a commercial importance. In the Mediterranean Sea, a long-term period of overfishing brought several demersal elasmobranchs to be depleted and threatened by extinction, due

The survey of ectoparasites on two species of Triakids (Mustelus mustelus and M. punctulatus) sharks from Tunisian coasts. [PDF]

Saudi J Biol Sci, 2022
Between 2018 and 2020, 696 fish belonging to two species of sharks from the Family Triakidae (Mustelus mustelus and M. punctulatus) were collected from the coasts of Tunisia and inspected for parasites. Six copepod taxa (Perissopus dentatus Steenstrup & Lütken, 1861, Eudactylinella alba Wilson, 1932, Kroyeria lineata Van Beneden, 1853, Nesippus ...

Ontogenetic trophic segregation between two threatened smooth-hound sharks in the Central Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
Elasmobranchs are among the species most threatened by overfishing and a large body of evidence reports their decline around the world. As they are large predators occupying the highest levels of marine food webs, their removal can alter the trophic web ...

Multiple paternity and hybridization in two smooth-hound sharks. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2015
Multiple paternity appears to be a common trait of elasmobranch mating systems, with its occurrence likely driven by convenience, due to females seeking to minimize the stress of male harassment.
