Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences, 2021 A public aquarium (or city aquarium) is the aquatic counterpart of a zoo, which houses living aquatic animal and plant specimens for public viewing. The supply of the species to be exhibited is one of the most important issues. The small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), is very famous for public aquariums to the exhibition.

Early life sensory ability—ventilatory responses of thornback ray embryos (Raja clavata) to predator-type electric fields [PDF]
, 2015 Predator avoidance is fundamental for survival and it can be particularly challenging for prey animals if physical movement away from a predatory threat is restricted. Many sharks and rays begin life within an egg capsule that is attached to the sea bed.

Biofluorescence in Catsharks (Scyliorhinidae): Fundamental description and relevance for elasmobranch visual ecology [PDF]
, 2016 Biofluorescence has recently been found to be widespread in marine fishes, including sharks. Catsharks, such as the Swell Shark (Cephaloscyllium ventriosum) from the eastern Pacific and the Chain Catshark (Scyliorhinus retifer) from the western Atlantic,

Diet of the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula in the Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean)
Marine Biology Research, 2017 ABSTRACTThe diet of the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, captured in the Aegean Sea by bottom-trawl from 2006 to 2012, was investigated with respect to sex, maturity condition, sampling location and season. The stomach contents of 432 specimens, measuring from 144 to 517 mm in total length, were analysed.

Twins! Microsatellite analysis of two embryos within one egg case in oviparous elasmobranchs.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Elasmobranchs display various reproductive modes, which have been key to their evolutionary success. In recent decades there has been a rise in the number of reported cases of foetal abnormalities including fertilised, double-embryos held within one egg ...

Production and identification of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from Mediterranean fish discards [PDF]
, 2015 The production of peptides exhibiting Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity from discarded Mediterranean fish species such as sardine, horse mackerel, axillary seabream, bogue and small-spotted catshark was studied.

First Analysis of Multiple Paternity in an Oviparous Shark, the Small-Spotted Catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula L.) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2011 Multiple paternity (MP) has been demonstrated in a variety of sharks, although its prevalence and the number of sires per litter vary considerably among species. To date, such analyses have focused on viviparous species that possess only part of the wide spectrum of reproductive strategies developed in elasmobranchs.
