Molecular markers reveal spatially segregated cryptic species in a critically endangered fish, the common skate (Dipturus batis) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Many sharks and skates are particularly vulnerable to overfishing because of their large size, slow growth, late maturity and low fecundity. In Europe dramatic population declines have taken place in common skate (Dipturus batisL.), one of the largest demersal fish in regional shelf seas, leading to extirpations from substantial parts of its former ...
