The Phenomenon of Piebaldism in Sharks: A Review of Global Sightings and Patterns. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Chromatic disorders like piebaldism—a rare form of leucism causing partial pigment loss—have been documented in 25 wild shark cases across 17 species and 11 families, with varying anatomical distribution. This study compiles published and unpublished records to better understand the taxonomic and geographical spread of piebaldism and its potential ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...

Summarising 40 years of gastric lavage studies to evaluate efficiency and survival in sharks and rays. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract 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 ...

Use of Synthetic Salmon GnRH and Domperidone (Ovaprim®) in Sharks: Preparation for ex situ Conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Shark populations are constantly decreasing owing to environmental destruction and overfishing; thus, sharks are now at a risk of extinction, with 27.9% of shark species classified as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red

Molecular identification of sharks and rays species from Aceh waters, Indonesia

Depik Jurnal, 2023
Shark is a cartilaginous fish that is widely hunted because it has high economic value. The waters of Aceh are directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean and the Malacca Strait making it a preferred habitat for pelagic fish, especially sharks.

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Comparative Space Use of Sympatric Sharks at a Remote Island in the South Pacific Ocean. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The space use of 34 dusky (Carcharhinus obscurus), 32 Galapagos (C. galapagensis), 47 tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier), and 20 sandbar (C. plumbeus) sharks was monitored with acoustic telemetry between 2021 and 2024 in coastal waters around Norfolk Island, Australia, a remote small island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

Quantifying shark distribution patterns and species-habitat associations: implications of marine park zoning. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Quantifying shark distribution patterns and species-specific habitat associations in response to geographic and environmental drivers is critical to assessing risk of exposure to fishing, habitat degradation, and the effects of climate change.

Evaluation of Shifts in the Potential Future Distributions of Carcharhinid Sharks Under Different Climate Change Scenarios

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Climate change is currently considered one of the main phenomena affecting marine species through expansion or contraction of their distribution. Being ectothermic organisms, sharks of the family Carcharhinidae could be highly susceptible to the effects ...
