Operant conditioning as a tool to assess hearing abilities in sharks
Abstract Sharks (elasmobranchs) are an ancient, diverse group of fishes, representing a basal stage in the evolution of vertebrate hearing. Yet, our understanding of behavioural measures of hearing abilities in sharks is limited. To address this, an operant conditioning paradigm was designed, and scalloped hammerhead Sphyrna lewini and rig (spotted ...

El sistema reproductor femenino de Zearaja chilensis (Guichenot, 1848) (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae): Gametogénesis y validación microscópica de los criterios de madurez [PDF]
Los condrictios son extremadamente susceptibles a la explotación pesquera debido, entre otras cosas, a sus adaptaciones reproductivas. Los conocimientos básicos de sus parámetros reproductivos son esenciales, ya sea desde el punto de vista ecológico como

Trypanorhynch Assemblages Indicate Ecological and Phylogenetical Attributes of Their Elasmobranch Final Hosts [PDF]
This study explores non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) as a tool for investigating parasites as indicators of the elasmobranch biology. An attractive feature of nMDS is its ability to allow assemblage-level parasite data to be simultaneously ...

New record of the Critically Endangered striped smooth-hound, Mustelus fasciatus (Garman, 1913) (Chondrichthyes, Triakidae), in the Southwest Atlantic [PDF]
We report the southernmost known occurrence in the Atlantic Ocean of the striped smooth-hound, Mustelus fasciatus (Garman, 1913). The shark, a female measuring 106 cm TL, was fished in warm coastal waters, with a salinity of 33,189 PSU, of central ...

Fishers “local ecological knowledge” (LEK) can be used to reconstruct long-term trends of species that are at very low biomass due to overfishing. In this study, we used historical memories of Sicilian fishers to understand their perception of change in ...
