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).

Ruhnke2 1 Biology Department & Biological Field Station, State University of New York, College at Oneonta, Ravine Parkway Oneonta, NY, USA; 2 Department of Biology, West Virginia State University, Institute, WV, USA Abstract: Morphological and molecular analyses of cestode specimens collected during survey work of batoid elasmobranchs and their parasites in Senegal revealed two new species of the rhinebothriidean cestode genus Stillabothrium Healy et Reyda 2016. Stillabothrium allisonae Dedrick et Reyda sp. n. and Stillabothrium charlotteae Iwanyckyj, Dedrick et Reyda sp. n. are both de- scribed from Fontitrygon margaritella (Compagno et Roberts) and Fontitrygon margarita (Günther). Both new cestode species overlap in geographic distribution, host use and proglottid morphology, but are distinguished from each other, and from the other seven described species of Stillabothrium, on the basis of their pattern of bothridial loculi. Phylogenetic analyses based on sequence data for 1,084 bp from the D1–D3 region of 28S rDNA that included multiple specimens of both new species and eight other spe- cies of Stillabothrium corroborated the morphologically-determined species boundaries. The phylogenetic analyses indicate that S. allisonae sp. n. and S. charlotteae sp. n. are sister species, a noteworthy pattern given that the two species of the stingray genus Fontitrygon they both parasitise, F. margaritella and F. margarita, are also sister species.

  • 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.

This led to the development of Malaysia’s own National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Shark or NPOA-Shark (Plan 1) in 2006. The successful development of Malaysia’s second National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Shark (Plan 2) is a manifestation of her renewed commitment to the continuous improvement of shark conservation and management measures in Malaysia.

The disc width (WD) was significantly different between sexes, with females measuring 149–700 mm WD and males 109–500 mm WD. The average percentage error for vertebrae readings of the whole sample was 2·7%. The marginal increment ratio (RMI) showed an increasing trend with the highest value in November, decreasing from December on. The majority of vertebrae displaying RMI zero, occurred in September, but the annual periodicity of ring deposition throughout the year was not conclusive. Tetracycline (TCN) injected specimens were held in captivity for 13 months and displayed a fluorescent mark in vertebrae confirming a yearly periodicity of band pair formation with the translucent ring deposited in September–October. The Akaike information criterion (AIC) showed that, among the seven models considered, the best fit was obtained for the von Bertalanffy modified with W0 (where W0 = WD at birth) for both sexes.

  • Reproductive Biology of the Stingray Hypanus Marianae , an Endemic
    ReproduCtive Biology of the stingray Hypanus marianae, an endemic species from Southwestern Tropical Atlantic Ocean Biologia Reprodutiva da raia Hypanus marianae, uma espécie endêmica do SudOeste do Oceano Atlântico Tropical Biología reproductiva de la raya Hypanus marianae, una especie endémica del suROeste del Océano Atlántico Tropical Ana Rita Onodera Palmeira Nunes1 Getulio Rincon1,2 Ricardo de Souza Rosa3 Jorge Luiz Silva Nunes1 Abstract The Brazilian Large-eyed stingray Hypanus marianae is the smallest species of the family Dasyatidae in Brazil. This study aims to provide data on the reproductive biology of this species captured in artisanal fisheries from Ceará State. A total of 299 individuals of H. marianae were recorded at monitoring landings and adult male to female sex ratio was significantly different (1:2.9), indicating a possible spatial segregation between males and females. The size range was from 13.0 to 36.2cm in disc width (DW). Females reached greater size and body mass (36.2cm DW and 1855g) than males (29.3cm DW and 915g). The reproductive system analyses were based on 81 preserved specimens. The DW50 parameter was estimated at 26.1cm DW for females, and 23.8cm DW for males. Only the left uterus is functional, and birth size was estimated at 13.0–14.0cm DW. Vitellogenesis occurred concurrently with a short gestation (shorter than 6 months) and uterine fecundity is only one embryo per reproductive cycle, which seems to be asynchronous. Keywords: maturity, fecundity, birth, embryos, Dasyatidae.
