New Molecular Tools for the Identification of 2 Endangered Smooth-Hound Sharks, Mustelus mustelus and Mustelus punctulatus [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2014 The smooth-hounds represent a significant proportion of the elasmobranch catch in the Adriatic basin of the Mediterranean Sea, where the common (Mustelus mustelus) and blackspotted (Mustelus punctulatus) smooth-hounds co-occur. The 2 species share several morphological and morphometric characters that lead to frequent misidentification.

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.

Weight–length relations for 103 fish species from the southern Aegean Sea, Turkey [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2014 Using a traditional, commercial, crustacean bottom trawl net we collected fish samples from the southern Aegean Sea, from Dec 2009 to Nov 2010, at depths of 30–225 m.

Geologica Belgica, 2022 Mustelus is a problematic genus in palaeoichthyology. Due to the scarcity of fossil teeth, relative homogeneity in tooth morphology and the lack of published extant dentitions, the early history of smooth-hound sharks remains poorly understood. Recently, two teeth were collected in the Tortonian Deurne Member (Diest Formation) near Antwerp (Belgium ...

Observations on the diet of the Starry skate, Raja asterias Delaroche, 1809 (Elasmobranchii: Rajidae) in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
, 2019 Diet of immature specimens of the Starry skate (Raja asterias) was investigated in three different parts of the northern Adriatic Sea. Decapod crabs were found to be the skate’s primary food source, followed by teleost fish and cephalopods.

Assessing the Stock Dynamics of Elasmobranchii off the Southern Coast of Sicily by Using Trawl Survey Data [PDF]
, 2022 Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), which have peculiar and vulnerable life-history traits, are highly threatened by fishing activities. Indeed, between 53% and 71% of Mediterranean elasmobranch species are at risk of extinction. In this context, using the

DNA barcoding as a tool to explore elasmobranch diversity in environmental DNA off the Banc d´Arguin (Mauritania) [PDF]
, 2021 Sharks and rays are the most threatened group of marine vertebrates. Extinction risk is highest for species in tropical and subtropical areas, often associated with developing nations that generally lack baseline data on species diversity.
