The use of fishers’ Local Ecological Knowledge to reconstruct fish behavioural traits and fishers’ perception of conservation relevance of elasmobranchs in the Mediterranean Sea

Mediterranean Marine Science, 2021
The Mediterranean Sea has a long-lasting history of fishery exploitation that, together with other anthropogenic impacts, has led to declines in several marine organisms.

Coastal sharks and rays in the Northeastern Atlantic: From an urgent call to collect more data to the declaration of a marine corridor

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Globally, elasmobranchs have suffered severe population declines and are, therefore, under an urgent necessity of protection, particularly along the Northeastern Atlantic realm.

Comparative analysis of feeding habits and dietary niche breadth in skates: the importance of body size, snout length, and depth

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2018
Skates (Elasmobranchii, Rajiformes) are a morphologically conservative group of bentophagous chondrichthyan fishes with a high degree of endemism, that occur on marine soft bottoms.

Indirect effects of conservation policies on the coupled human-natural ecosystem of the upper Gulf of California. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
High bycatch of non-target species and species of conservation concern often drives the implementation of fisheries policies. However, species- or fishery-specific policies may lead to indirect consequences, positive or negative, for other species or ...

Biomechanical model of batoid (skates and rays) pectoral fins predicts the influence of skeletal structure on fin kinematics: implications for bio-inspired design

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2015
Growing interest in the development of bio-inspired autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has motivated research in understanding the mechanisms behind the propulsion systems of marine animals.

Combined use of eDNA metabarcoding and video surveillance for the assessment of fish biodiversity

Conservation Biology, 2018
Monitoring communities of fish is important for the management and sustainability of fisheries and marine ecosystems. Baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVs) are among the most effective nondestructive techniques for sampling bony fishes and ...
