Bibliography Database of Living/Fossil Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii, Holocephali) Papers of the Year 2016
www.shark-references.com Version 13.01.2017 Bibliography database of living/fossil sharks, rays and chimaeras (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii, Holocephali) Papers of the year 2016 published by Jürgen Pollerspöck, Benediktinerring 34, 94569 Stephansposching, Germany and Nicolas Straube, Munich, Germany ISSN: 2195-6499 copyright by the authors 1 please inform us about missing papers: [email protected] www.shark-references.com Version 13.01.2017 Abstract: This paper contains a collection of 803 citations (no conference abstracts) on topics related to extant and extinct Chondrichthyes (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) as well as a list of Chondrichthyan species and hosted parasites newly described in 2016. The list is the result of regular queries in numerous journals, books and online publications. It provides a complete list of publication citations as well as a database report containing rearranged subsets of the list sorted by the keyword statistics, extant and extinct genera and species descriptions from the years 2000 to 2016, list of descriptions of extinct and extant species from 2016, parasitology, reproduction, distribution, diet, conservation, and taxonomy. The paper is intended to be consulted for information. In addition, we provide information on the geographic and depth distribution of newly described species, i.e. the type specimens from the year 1990- 2016 in a hot spot analysis. Please note that the content of this paper has been compiled to the best of our abilities based on current knowledge and practice, however, -

Many species are vulnerable due to demand for their products Alifa Bintha Haque, and are particularly prone to unsustainable fishing practices Aparna Riti Biswas and (Schindler et al., 2002; Clarke et al., 2007; Dulvy et al., Gulshan Ara Latifa 2008; Graham et al., 2010; Morgan and Carlson, 2010). Sharks are exploited primarily for their fins, meat, cartilage, liver oil and skin (Clarke, 2004), whereas rays are targeted for their meat, skin, gill rakers and livers. Most shark catch takes place in response to demand for the animals’ fins, which command high prices (Jabado et al., 2015). Shark fin soup is a delicacy in many Asian countries—predominantly China—and in many other countries (Clarke et al., 2007). Apart from the fins being served in high-end restaurants, there is a demand for other products in different markets and by different consumer groups, and certain body parts are also used medicinally (Clarke et al., 2007). -

(Cestoda) from the Mangrove Whipray, Urogymnus Granulatus (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae), from the Solomon Islands and Northern Australia
Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre CAS Folia Parasitologica 2017, 64: 004 doi: 10.14411/fp.2017.004 http://folia.paru.cas.cz Research Article A new genus with two new species of lecanicephalidean tapeworms (Cestoda) from the mangrove whipray, Urogymnus granulatus (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae), from the Solomon Islands and northern Australia Kaylee S. Herzog and Kirsten Jensen Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the Biodiversity Institute, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA Abstract: A new lecanicephalidean genus is erected for cestodes previously recognised as “New Genus 12” (Polypocephalidae) in a phylogenetic analysis of the interrelationship of members of this order. Examination of the cestode fauna of the mangrove whipray, Urogymnus granulatus (Macleay) (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) from the Solomon Islands and northern Australia revealed the existence of specimens representing two new species, consistent in morphology with “New Genus 12.” Corollapex gen. n. is unique among the 24 valid lecanicephalidean genera in its possession of an apical organ in the form of an external retractable central disk surrounded by eight concave muscular, membrane-bound pads and an internal heterogeneous glandular component. The two new spe- cies described herein, Corollapex cairae sp. n. (type species) and Corollapex tingoi sp. n., differ from one another in overall size and number of mature and immature proglottids, and are noted to demonstrate a differential distribution between mature and juvenile host individuals. Additional species diversity in the new genus, beyond C. cairae sp. n., C. tingoi sp. n., and “New Genus 12 n. sp. 1” of Jensen et al. (2016) is suggested. Corollapex gen. n. appears to be restricted to dasyatid hosts in the Indo-West Pacific region. -

Riwayat pengobatan yang diberikan adalah pemberian antibiotika enrofloxacin secara peroral. Periode terapi berlangsung selama sepuluh hari. Pengobatan terakhir adalah pemberian Hepavit® (ekstrak hati) dan injeksi intramuskular (IM) antibiotika enrofloxacin. Satu hari sebelum kematian, sampel darah dikoleksi dan kemudian diperiksa untuk mengetahui gambaran hematokrit dan beberapa parameter kimia darah. Hasil pemeriksaan darah ditemukan penurunan kadar blood urea nitrogen (BUN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), dan alanine aminotransferase (ALT), peningkatan kadar glukosa, penurunan total protein dan kadar albumin, serta peningkatan kadar globulin. Pemeriksaan patologi anatomi ditemukan lesi pada ekor, di sekitar mata, dan clasper. Lesi hemoragik ditemukan di lapisan mukosa esofagus, lambung, dan kolon spiral. Gumpalan darah ditemukan di bawah lapisan tunika organ testis. Kerusakan organ hati secara makroskopis ditunjukkan dengan perubahan warna yang tidak homogen, pembengkakan organ, kongesti hati, dan konsistensi yang rapuh. Berdasarkan diagnosis morfologik, kausa kematian ikan diduga karena mengalami kondisi infeksi septikemia selama beberapa minggu sebelumnya. -

Elasmobranch Diversity with Preliminary Description of Four Species from Territorial Waters of Bangladesh
Bangladesh J. Zool. 46(2): 185-195, 2018 ISSN: 0304-9027 (print) 2408-8455 (online) ELASMOBRANCH DIVERSITY WITH PRELIMINARY DESCRIPTION OF FOUR SPECIES FROM TERRITORIAL WATERS OF BANGLADESH A.B.M. Zafaria, Shamsunnahar, Sanjay Chakraborty, Md. Muzammel Hossain1, Md. Masud Rana and Mohammad Abdul Baki* Department of Zoology, Jagannath University, Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh Abstract: There is a significant lack of data regarding the biodiversity of elasmobranchs in the territorial waters of Bangladesh, since that sharks and rays are not targeted by commercial fishing industry, but rather encountered as a by- catch. This paper updated the diversity of elasmobranchs in the territorial waters of Bangladesh. The study was carried out to identify two coastal areas of Patharghata, Barguna and Cox's Bazar between October, 2015 and September, 2016. Using fish landing station survey techniques, total 20 species of elasmobranch were encountered, including eight species of sharks and 12 species of batoids, under 14 genera, ten families. This is the most expended field based records of elasmobranch fishes of Bangladesh. Key words: Elasmobranch, assessment, diversity, shark, skate, ray INTRODUCTION Elasmobranchs have been evolving independently for at least 450 million years and, by the Carboniferous period, they seem to have developed a life- history pattern similar to that seen today. From a practical point of view the life- history pattern of elasmobranchs make this group of animals extremely susceptible to over fishing (Harold et al. 1990). The marine fisheries sector of Bangladesh plays a significant role in the county’s economic growth through provision of employment in coastal area and providing source of protein for the population but shark fisheries (sharks and rays) are artisanal fisheries in Bangladesh. -

The emphasis has been on fishes generally but these studies have also contributed greatly to our knowledge of chondrichthyans in the region, as well as across the broader Indo–West Pacific. An annotated checklist of cartilaginous fishes of the Philippines is compiled based on historical information and new data. A Taiwanese deepwater trawl survey off Luzon in 1995 produced specimens of 15 species including 12 new records for the Philippines and a few species new to science.
