Angel sharks (Squatina spp.) are distributed in warm temperate to tropical waters around the
world. Many species occur in shelf seas and exhibit seasonal inshore–offshore migrations …

Endangered smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) were opportunistically sampled in south
Florida and aged by counting opaque bands in sectioned vertebrae (n= 15). Small sample …

Abstract The Add-my-Pet (AmP) collection of data on energetics and Dynamic Energy
Budget (DEB) parameters currently contains 200 out of over 1100 extant species of …

Populations of sharks are declining globally, largely due to fishing pressure. There is a lack
of fisheries-independent data on the demographics of many species, particularly those …

The development of shark vertebrae and the possible drivers of inter-and intra-specific
differences in vertebral structure are poorly understood. Shark vertebrae are used to …

Two species of angel shark (Squatina australis, S. albipunctata) and two species of
sawshark (Pristiophorus nudipinnis, P. cirratus) are frequently caught in south-eastern …

Determining the age of sharks using vertebral banding is a vital component of management,
but the causes of banding are not fully understood. Traditional shark ageing is based on fish …

Atlantic angel sharks Squatina dumeril were collected by fishery‐dependent and
independent trawls from 2002 to 2008 for reproductive analysis. Female S. dumeril have …

Shrimp trawl fisheries capture several species of elasmobranchs as bycatch that are
commonly unreported, this lack of data makes it difficult to assess their populations using …

An investigation was undertaken to determine whether photoperiod or temperature have an
effect on the timing of vertebral opaque–transluscent band‐pair deposition in captive young …
