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. -

Elasmobranchs 21 (sharks and rays) are of particular conservation concern and a higher proportion of threatened species are 22 exhibited than any other assessed vertebrate group. Many of these lack sustainable captive populations, so 23 comprehensive assessments of sustainability may be needed to support the management of future harvests and 24 safeguard wild populations. -

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. -

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. -
A Baseline Assessment of Sharks and Rays by Andrew Paris1, Tom Vierus2 and Stefan Gehrig3
RSTC-TC-S1 WP.6 Date: 5 February 2020 Original: English First Series Technical Consultation of the Regional Scientific and Technical Committee for the GEF Pacific Ridge to Reef Programme Nadi, Fiji 5th February 2020 Session 2, Topic 2 Elasmobranchs of the Vanua o VotuaQoliqoli – a Baseline Assessment of Sharks and Rays by Andrew Paris1, Tom Vierus2 and Stefan Gehrig3 Abstract The demarcation of a potential shark and ray nursery area in the Ba Estuary was prepared in accordance with Activity 1.1.1.2 of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded Fijian Government’s Ridge to Reef (R2R) project, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Waterways and Environment. As part of this component of the Fiji R2R project, fishery-independent surveys of elasmobranch fauna were undertaken in the Ba Estuary in Viti Levu by the University of the South Pacific’s School of Marine Studies and the Institute of Applied Sciences over a period of 113 days from December 2015 to July 2019 and were comprised of 361 bottom-set gillnet and longline deployments at multiple sites in the estuary. Key findings encompassed the discovery of four shark and two ray species in the surveys. Three further elasmobranch species were observed sporadically, but not captured in the surveys. Of these nine species, three are listed as Critically Endangered, four as Vulnerable and two as Near Threatened on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Increased elasmobranch abundance and an elevated proportion of neonates occurred from November to February, most likely the birthing season for the encountered species. -

Rhodes Journal of Biological Science Published by the Students of the Department of Biology at Rhodes College VOLUME XXXVI SPRING 2021 About this Issue Statement of Purpose The Rhodes Journal of Biological Science is a student-edited publication that recognizes the scientific achievements of Rhodes students. Volume XXXVI marks the fifteenth year since Mark Stratton and Dr. David Kesler brought the journal back into regular publication in 2006. Founded as a scholarly forum for student research and scientific ideas, the journal aims to maintain and stimulate the tradition of independent study among Rhodes College students. We hope that in reading the journal, other students will be encouraged to pursue scientific investigations and research.
