Mitochondrial Genome and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Narrownose Smooth-Hound Shark Mustelus schmitti Springer, 1939 [PDF]
AnimalsSouthern Brazil is home to a large biodiversity of elasmobranchs from the Brazilian coast. Several genera and species of small sharks of the Triakidae family live in this marine environment.

Ion Torrent data for the genome assembly and phylogenomic placement of mitochondrial genomes with a focus on houndsharks (Chondrichthyes: Triakidae) [PDF]
Data in BriefHere, we present, for the first time, the Ion TorrentⓇ next-generation sequencing (NGS) data for five houndsharks (Chondrichthyes: Triakidae), which include Galeorhinus galeus (number of bases pairs (bp) 17,487; GenBank accession number ON652874 ...

Annotated Bioinformatic Pipelines for Genome Assembly and Annotation of Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolMitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) display relatively rapid mutation rates, low sequence recombination, high copy numbers, and maternal inheritance patterns, rendering them valuable blueprints for mapping lineages, uncovering historical migration ...

Annotated Bioinformatic Pipelines for Phylogenomic Placement of Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolThe limited standards for the rigorous and objective use of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) can lead to uncertainties regarding the phylogenetic relationships of taxa under varying evolutionary constraints.

Fisheries ecological knowledge, FEK: Contribution to the knowledge of the ecology and distribution of houndsharks and dogfish shark (family Triakidae and Squalidae) in the Canary Islands. [PDF]
PLoS ONECurrently, it is assumed that most of elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and skates) had suffered a high depletion in their populations worldwide, but there is an important lack of biological and fishing information over the bulk of the species that do not ...

Site specificity and attachment mode of Symcallio and Calliobothrium species (Cestoda: “Tetraphyllidea”) in smoothhound sharks of the genus Mustelus (Carcharhiniformes: Triakidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Previous studies suggest that cestodes (i.e., tapeworms) of the sister genera Symcallio and Calliobothrium attach in different specific regions of the spiral intestine of their triakid shark hosts, with species of Symcallio attaching in the anterior ...

Food and feeding habits of the blackspotted smooth-hound, Mustelus punctulatus (Elasmobranchii: Carcharhiniformes: Triakidae), from the northern Adriatic [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2011 Background. The blackspotted smooth-hound, Mustelus punctulatus Risso, 1826, has been regularly caught in the northern Adriatic Sea, although a decreasing trend in its catches was observed off the coast of Slovenia within the last decade The knowledge of
