Using citizen science photographs to identify reproductive events in an oviparous elasmobranch

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying critical habitats is important for the effective management of vulnerable species. Critical habitats, such as mating or nursery grounds, support populations during key life stages and help to maximise reproductive output and population growth. In elasmobranchs, mating often happens over a defined season, suggesting sites associated

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

A blacktip's black tip: The reliability of using dorsal‐fin patterns for photo identification of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Photo identification (photo ID) has increasingly become a valuable technique serving not only to identify individual animals but also to monitor populations, track migration patterns and assess wildlife health, among others uses. Various species of sharks are amenable to photo ID, among which the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Whale shark Rhincodon typus foraging on small schooling fish in the northern Mexican Caribbean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) aggregates in the Mexican Caribbean from May to September to feed on mixed zooplankton patches and fish spawn. For the first time in this area, we present evidence of observations of whale sharks feeding on schools of small fish, two in 2017 (10 individuals per flight) and one in 2024 (19 individuals).

Microplastics on the Menu: Plastics Pollute Indonesian Manta Ray and Whale Shark Feeding Grounds

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The implications of plastic pollution, including microplastics, on marine ecosystems and species are increasingly seen as an environmental disaster. Yet few reports focus on filter-feeding megafauna in regions heavily impacted by plastic pollution, such ...

Integrative taxonomy reveals a new species of the soapfish genus Rypticus (Teleostei: Grammistidae) from the eastern Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of the soapfish genus Rypticus is described based on 14 specimens from the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The new species was previously misidentified as the greater soapfish, R. saponaceus, due to their similar appearance. However, it differs from R.

The secret in their eyes: A review of the recessus orbitalis, a unique structure of flatfishes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The recessus orbitalis is an organ responsible for projecting the eyeball above the level of the head and is uniquely present in flatfishes. The organ consists of two interconnected chambers filled with interstitial fluid and is internally coated with smooth muscle fibers that act as a double‐pump system.
