Ion Torrent data for the genome assembly and phylogenomic placement of mitochondrial genomes with a focus on houndsharks (Chondrichthyes: Triakidae) [PDF]
Here, 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 ...

Mitochondrial Genome and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Narrownose Smooth-Hound Shark Mustelus schmitti Springer, 1939 [PDF]
Southern 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.

Annotated Bioinformatic Pipelines for Genome Assembly and Annotation of Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
Mitochondrial 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 ...

Rediscovery of one of the world's rarest sharks, the sailback houndshark Gogolia filewoodi, in Papua New Guinea. [PDF]
Abstract A recent survey of artisanal and subsistence fishers in Madang, Papua New Guinea, resulted in rediscovery of the sailback houndshark Gogolia filewoodi. The five females and one male G. filewoodi recorded in 2020 and 2022 near the Gogol River mouth are the first verified records of this species since its description from a single specimen in ...

Annotated Bioinformatic Pipelines for Phylogenomic Placement of Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
The 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]
Currently, 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 ...

Reallocation of the magnificent catshark Proscyllium magnificum Last & Vongpanich, 2004 to the genus Ctenacis Compagno, 1973 (Carcharhiniformes: Proscylliidae). [PDF]
Abstract The magnificent catshark Proscyllium magnificum was described in 2004 based off five specimens collected in the Andaman Sea off Myanmar. It was originally allocated to the genus Proscyllium, but recent molecular analyses suggested it was more closely related to the harlequin catshark Ctenacis fehlmanni from the western Indian Ocean.
