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

open access: yesEcol 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 This study compiles published and unpublished records to better understand the taxonomic and geographical spread of piebaldism and its potential ...

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

open access: yesJ 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 ...
