Summarising 40 years of gastric lavage studies to evaluate efficiency and survival in sharks and rays. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Traditionally, lethal stomach dissection has been used to study the diets of sharks and rays, but conservation and animal welfare concerns necessitate non‐lethal alternatives, such as gastric lavage (stomach or gut flushing). In this study, we summarised gastric lavage studies on elasmobranchs to identify which species/groups it has been ...
