ABSTRACT Quantifying discard survival of species is crucial for effective fishery management. Electronic tags and visual health assessments were used to estimate postrelease survival of commercially caught thornback ray (Raja clavata), undulate ray (Raja undulata) and small‐eyed ray (Raja microocellata) from Northeast Atlantic inshore fisheries ...

Tasa de oviposición de la raya marmolada Sympterygia bonapartii (Elasmobranchii, Rajidae) (Müller & Henle, 1841) mantenida en cautiverio [PDF]
Se registró la tasa de oviposición de Symperygia bonapartii en cautiverio. En un período de un año una hembra depositó 152 ovicápsulas a una tasa de 0.4 huevos por día y la otra depositó 200 ovicápsulas a una tasa de 0.5 huevos por día.The oviposition ...

Diversification of the Neoselachii (Chondrichthyes) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous [PDF]
The Neoselachii are a monophyletic group including all of the extant sharks and rays. They underwent rapid diversification throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous, going from low-diversity assemblages of members of extinct orders in the Late Triassic to ...

Do Public Perceptions of the Environment Align With Empirical Measures?
To create effective environmental communications and policies, it is crucial to understand how laypeople, scientists, and experts perceive the environment. This study, based on a large‐scale, nationally representative survey from Aotearoa New Zealand and scientific reports and literature, examines the similarities and differences in perceptions across ...

Emerging patterns of species richness, diversity, population density, and distribution in the skates (Rajidae) of Alaska [PDF]
Six years of bottom-trawl survey data, including over 6000 trawls covering over 200 km2 of bottom area throughout Alaska’s subarctic marine waters, were analyzed for patterns in species richness, diversity, density, and distribution of skates. The Bering

Comparative Morphology of Digestive Tract Among 11 Different Marine Fish Species
Limited information is available about the digestive tract morphology and function in some marine fish species. Using anatomical methods, this study compared the morphological characteristics of the digestive tract among 11 marine fish species of different taxonomic status, feeding habits and ecological niches.

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.

All their eggs in one basket: a rocky reef nursery for the longnose skate (Raja rhina Jordan & Gilbert, 1880) in the southern California Bight [PDF]
Skates (family Rajidae) are oviparous and lay tough, thick-walled eggs. At least some skate species lay their eggs in spatially restricted nursery grounds where embryos develop and hatch (Hitz, 1964; Hoff, 2007).
