Ankush1, Ahmed Chasib Al-Shamary2 1Department of Fish and Marine Resources, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, Iraq. 2Marine Science Center, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, Iraq. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT When two specimens of the Torpedo Panthera electric straw were caught in Iraqi marine waters in November 2020, their presence was known and reclassified through the study of 17 Morphometric characters, some of which were correlated with salinity Disk length, Disk width, and Eye diameter, and others with temperature First dorsal fin length, Second dorsal fin and Tail length, During the research, the chemical composition of the ray was investigated. KEYWORDS Torpedo Panthera, Iraqi Marine Water, Morphometric Characters, Rays. Introduction They are unmistakably monophyletic, with large pectoral electric organs derived from bronchial muscles, anteriorly expanded and branched antorbital cartilages, a neurocranium lacking supraorbital crests, and posteriorly arched scapulocoracoids, among other features, distinguishing them from other batoids (Compagno, 1977; McEachran et al., 1996). Electric ray species belonging to the genus Torpedo panthera Torpedo Houttuyn, 1764, is a genus of medium to large electric rays that can grow up to 180 cm in total length and can be found in tropical and temperate waters all over the world, from the shoreline to about 600 m on the continental slope. Larger specimens are capable of producing strong electric shocks that have been reported to reach a discharge of 220 volts (Coates and Cox, 1942; Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953).

  • Field Identification Guide to the Sharks and Rays of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden
    FAO SPECIES IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR FISHERY PURPOSES ISSN 1020-6868 FIELD IDENTIFICATION GUIDE TO THE SHARKS AND RAYS OF THE RED SEA AND GULF OF ADEN PERSGA FAO SPECIES IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR FISHERY PURPOSES FIELD IDENTIFICATION GUIDE TO THE SHARKS AND RAYS OF THE RED SEA AND GULF OF ADEN by Ramón Bonfil Marine Program Wildlife Conservation Society Bronx, New York, USA and Mohamed Abdallah Strategic Action Program Regional Organization for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Jeddah, Saudi Arabia FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 2004 iii PREPARATION OF THIS DOCUMENT This document was prepared under the coordination of the Species Identification and Data Programme of the Marine Resources Service, Fishery Resources and Environment Division, Fisheries Department, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This field guide is largely based on material prepared for training courses on elasmobranch identification delivered in the region by the first author, and promoted by the Regional Organization for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (PERSGA), as an activity of PERSGA’s Strategic Action Programme (SAP) towards capacity building and technical assistance in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region. Printing was supported by Japanese Government funds. The increasing recognition of the significance of sharks and batoid fishes as ecosystem health indicators, as well as their particular importance in exploited ecosystems in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, have been key considerations to promote the preparation of this Field Guide. Furthermore, in recent years the reported catches of elasmobranchs in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden showed a marked increase.

The term Elasmobranchs or chondrichthyans refers to the The great majority of the commercially important species of group of marine organisms with a skeleton made of cartilage. chondrichthyans are elasmobranchs. The latter are named They include sharks, skates, rays and chimaeras.

In total, there are about 869+ extant species group of bony fishes in the characteristics like cartilaginous of elasmobranchs, with about 400+ of those being sharks skeleton, absence of swim bladders and presence of five and the rest skates and rays. Taxonomy is also perhaps to seven pairs of naked gill slits that are not covered by an infamously known for its constant, yet essential, revisions operculum. The chondrichthyans which are placed in Class of the relationships and identity of different organisms. Elasmobranchii are grouped into two main subdivisions Classification of elasmobranchs certainly does not evade this Holocephalii (Chimaeras or ratfishes and elephant fishes) process, and species are sometimes lumped in with other with three families and approximately 37 species inhabiting species, or renamed, or assigned to different families and deep cool waters; and the Elasmobranchii, which is a large, other taxonomic groupings. It is certain, however, that such diverse group (sharks, skates and rays) with representatives revisions will clarify our view of the taxonomy and phylogeny in all types of environments, from fresh waters to the bottom (evolutionary relationships) of elasmobranchs, leading to a of marine trenches and from polar regions to warm tropical better understanding of how these creatures evolved.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch.

    The IUCN Species Survival Commission Elasmobranch Biodiversity, Conservation and Management Proceedings of the International Seminar and Workshop, Sabah, Malaysia, July 1997 Edited by Sarah L. Fowler, Tim M. Reed and Frances A. Dipper Occasional Paper of the IUCN Species Survival Commission No. 25 IUCN The World Conservation Union Donors to the SSC Conservation Communications Programme and Elasmobranch Biodiversity, Conservation and Management: Proceedings of the International Seminar and Workshop, Sabah, Malaysia, July 1997 The IUCN/Species Survival Commission is committed to communicate important species conservation information to natural resource managers, decision-makers and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation.
