Opportunistic Survey Analyses Reveal a Recent Decline of Skate (Rajiformes) Biomass in Falkland Islands Waters

open access: yesFishes, 2022
Data were combined from surveys in 2013, 2018, 2019 and 2021 to examine biomass changes of the skate (Rajiformes) stock in waters around the Falkland Islands.

Age, growth and reproductive biology of two endemic demersal bycatch elasmobranchs: Trygonorrhina fasciata and Dentiraja australis (Chondrichthyes: Rhinopristiformes, Rajiformes) from Eastern Australia [PDF]

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2020
Bottom-dwelling elasmobranchs, such as guitarfishes, skates and stingrays are highly susceptible species to bycatch due to the overlap between their distribution and area of fishing operations.

Morphological description of Dipturus mennii (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii: Rajidae) and its differentiation from Dipturus trachyderma

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2011
Squamation patterns and skeletal anatomy (neurocranium, visceral arches, synarcual cartilage, scapulocoracoid, puboischiadic bar, and mixopterigium) of Dipturus mennii Gomes & Paragó, 2001 are described as a contribution to our limited knowledge of the ...

A Comparison of Skating Economy On-Ice and On the Skating Treadmill

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 2003
The purpose of this study was to compare skating economy and oxygen uptake (VO2) on-ice and on the skating treadmill (TM). Male varsity hockey players (n = 15, age = 21.0 yr) performed skating tests on a TM and on-ice. The subjects skated for 4 min at each of 3 submaximal velocities (18, 20, and 22 km • h−1), separated by 5 min of passive recovery.

Rail skates for fixing rolling stock on the station tracks. Ground tests

open access: yesВестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2016
Currently manual brake shoes on Russian railways are used to solve two main tasks: to adjust uncoupling speed at humps (hump shoes), and to fix the rolling stock on the railway tracks.

Individual identification of flapper skate Dipturus intermedius using a baited camera lander

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2018
The ability of baited remote underwater video (BRUV) landers to attract and identify individual flapper skates Dipturus intermedius based on their spot patterns was tested within the Loch Sunart to Sound of Jura Marine Protected Area (MPA).

Ice-rich slurries can account for the remarkably low friction of ice skates

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
Ice skates are remarkably slippery across a wide range of conditions. We propose, based on earlier observations and new modeling, that an ice-rich slurry forms rapidly beneath a skate blade during each stride to lubricate the interface.

Comparative demography of skates: life-history correlates of productivity and implications for management. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Age-structured demographic models were constructed based on empirical estimates of longevity and maturity for five deepwater Bering Sea skates to investigate how observed differences in life history parameters affect population growth rates.

Morphological description of deepwater skate Bathyraja trachura from the North-West Pacific

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2021
Morphological description is given for deepwater skates Bathyraja trachura caught in the North-West Pacific in 1980–1989, both juveniles and adults. Counts for vertebras, pectoral fin, teeth rows, and intestinal valves are presented.

Release of unwanted flat-bodied fish from a horizontal-bar grid system as revealed through comparative fishing trials and underwater video observations

open access: yesAquaculture and Fisheries, 2021
Grid systems separate fish species primarily through physical means: fish size and body shape. On Georges Bank off the northeast USA, many species of flounders are overfished, and their catch needs to be reduced.
