Introduction: Skates (Rajidae) are cornerstone elasmobranchs, yet their intrinsic biological constraints, like slow growth, late maturation, and low fecundity, render them exceptionally susceptible to anthropogenic pressure.

Fishers' Local Ecological Knowledge Reveals Complex Food Web Dynamics With Rapidly Warming Waters
ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge (LEK) can provide insight into ecosystem change, particularly in dynamic ecological conditions, such as those driven by climate change. In New England lobster fisheries, warming waters have the potential to disrupt food webs, as range‐shifting species introduce novel ecological interactions.

DNA barcoding unveils skate (Chondrichthyes: Rajidae) species diversity in ‘ray’ products sold across Ireland and the UK [PDF]
Skates are widely consumed across the globe, but many large species are subject to considerable concern regarding their conservation and management. Within Europe such issues have recently driven policy changes so that, for the first time, reports of ...

Abstract Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) are a valuable, non‐destructive marine monitoring technology, suitable for a wide variety of monitoring goals. BRUVS remain underutilized in low‐light and remote environments, where the requirement for additional lighting, extended deployments, and repeated site access can increase costs and ...

Reproductive period of Dipturus oxyrinchus (Elasmobranchii: Rajidae) in Sardinian seas [PDF]
The reproduction of longnosed skate, Dipturus oxyrinchus (Elasmobranchik Rajidae) was studied using 334 specimens from Sardinian waters. Total length of females ranged from 130 to 1155 mm and of males ranged from 154 to 995 mm.

Fisheries and ecology of the skates (Rajiformes: Rajidae) in the English Channel
Skates are the main elasmobranch species exploited in the Northern Atlantic Ocean in France and the United Kingdom, especially in the English Channel. The reported international landings show that the fishery is actually dominated by five species Raja clavata, R. brachyura, R. montagui, Leucoraja naevus and R. undulata.

Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes
Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...
