In this study we present data on the richness of sharks and rays from the southern coast of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, in a coastal area considered as an essential habitat for many species of elasmobranchs. Based on ...

The identification of the elasmobranch secondary ovarian follicles and their function can be challenging and the inconsistent use of terminology derived from other taxa is a matter of ongoing debate. In this study, the ...

Sharks exhibit peculiar characteristics, which may lead to overfishing to cause irreversible damage to stocks and failing to restore original population sizes. Although global fin trade has decreased since 2000 meat trade ...

Demersal sharks and rays are common yet vulnerable components of the bycatch in tropical bottom-trawl fisheries. Little is known about the elasmobranch assemblages associated with most of these fisheries, particularly ...

Neogene marine sediments from Chilean geological formations contain a diverse marine fossil fauna. In Chile, the "Norte Chico" (27 degrees S to 32 degrees S) is composed of two important sedimentary marine deposits, the ...

This study proposes length relationship equations to determine total length of four species of sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis, Mustelus lunulatus, Sphyrna lewini and Carcharhinus limbatus) based on trunk lengths (TrL) ...
