Food and feeding habits of the blackspotted smooth-hound, Mustelus punctulatus (Elasmobranchii: Carcharhiniformes: Triakidae), from the northern Adriatic [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica Et Piscatoria, 2011
Background. The blackspotted smooth-hound, Mustelus punctulatus Risso, 1826, has been regularly caught in the northern Adriatic Sea, although a decreasing trend in its catches was observed off the coast of Slovenia within the last decade The knowledge of

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

An inconvenient tooth: Evaluating female choice in multiple paternity using an evolutionarily and ecologically important vertebrate clade. [PDF]

Mol Ecol, 2021
Abstract Understanding mating systems is a pillar of behavioural ecology, placing the complex interactions between females and males into a reproductive context. The field of multiple paternity, the phenomenon whereby many sires contribute to an individual litter, has traditionally viewed females as passive players in a male–male competitive framework.

Trophic Drivers of Organochlorine and PFAS Accumulation in Mediterranean Smooth-Hound Sharks: Insights from Stable Isotopes and Human Health Risk [PDF]

Toxics
Commercial smooth-hound sharks of the genus Mustelus are commonly landed and consumed in Mediterranean fisheries, raising concerns about potential human exposure to persistent contaminants.

Trophic Partitioning among Three Mesopredatory Shark Species Inhabiting the Northwestern Adriatic Sea

Diversity, 2023
While the general diet of Mediterranean elasmobranchs has been widely studied, little is known about food partitioning and competition among sympatric species, despite these being important forces structuring marine communities. Using stomach content and

Classification of sharks in the Egyptian Mediterranean waters using morphological and DNA barcoding approaches. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The identification of species constitutes the first basic step in phylogenetic studies, biodiversity monitoring and conservation. DNA barcoding, i.e. the sequencing of a short standardized region of DNA, has been proposed as a new tool for animal species

Sharks Do Not Always Grow Slowly: Tagging Data Reveal a Different Pattern of Growth, Longevity and Maturity for Threatened Smooth-Hounds in the Central Mediterranean Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Elasmobranchs are among the marine species more threatened by overfishing. Their conservation is often impaired by the lack of knowledge of species’ life history traits.

Two thirds of species in a global shark fin trade hub are threatened with extinction: Conservation potential of international trade regulations for coastal sharks

Conservation Letters, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract One third of chondrichthyan species (sharks, rays, and chimeras) are threatened with extinction, mainly due to unsustainable fishing. Large accessible international markets for meat and luxury products like dried fins can help drive overfishing by encouraging targeted capture or retention of high‐value export species.
