Dedrick1, Florian B. Reyda1, Elise K. Iwanyckyj1, Timothy R. 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.

  • Cartilaginous Fishes (Class Chondrichthyes) Off Ceará State, Brazil, Western Equatorial Atlantic - an Update
    CARTILAGINOUS FISHES (CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES) OFF CEARÁ STATE, BRAZIL, WESTERN EQUATORIAL ATLANTIC - AN UPDATE Peixes cartilaginosos (Classe Chondrichthyes) do Estado do Ceará, Brasil, Atlântico Equatorial Ocidental - uma atualização Arquivos de Ciências do Mar Bruno Jucá-Queiroz1,* Jones Santander-Neto1, Ricardo Silveira de Medeiros1, Francisco C. P. Nascimento1, Manuel Antonio de Andrade Furtado-Neto1,2, Vicente Vieira Faria2, Getulio Rincon3 RESUMO Aproximadamente 1.100 espécies de Chondrichthyes (tubarões, raias e quimeras) são hoje conhecidas mundialmente. O inventário faunístico mais recente para águas brasileiras compilou a ocorrência de 160 espécies de elasmobrânquios (tubarões e raias). Entretanto, o conhecimento pleno da riqueza de espécies de Chondrichthyes no Brasil ainda está longe de ser alcançada porque faltam pesquisas no campo de inventários faunísticos. Isto se deve à falta de recursos para pesquisa e conservação. Os peixes cartilaginosos não recebem prioridade de financiamento de pesquisa porque geralmente não são alvo direto de pescarias. Até o presente momento, sabe-se que 50 espécies de elasmobrânquios ocorrem em águas ao largo do Estado do Ceará. O objetivo do presente estudo foi de atualizar o registro de ocorrência de peixes cartilaginosos ao largo do Ceará. Os novos registros foram obtidos durante monitoramento a bordo de pescarias industriais, bem como do monitoramento de desembarque de pescarias industriais e artesanais e um cruzeiro de pesquisas. Este esforço foi complementado com examinação de espécimens de uma coleção ictiológica local, registros de literatura e fotográficos. Os oito novos registros são: Cirrhigaleus asper, Breviraja cf. spinosa, Dipturus sp., Dasyatis geijskesi, Himantura cf. schmardae, Manta birostris, Mobula thurstoni e Hydrolagus sp. Além disto, obteve-se também informação sobre a ocorrência Rhinobatos lentiginosus no Estado.

  • Conservation and Population Ecology of Manta Rays in the Maldives
    Conservation and Population Ecology of Manta Rays in the Maldives Guy Mark William Stevens Doctor of Philosophy University of York Environment August 2016 2 Abstract This multi-decade study on an isolated and unfished population of manta rays (Manta alfredi and M. birostris) in the Maldives used individual-based photo-ID records and behavioural observations to investigate the world’s largest known population of M. alfredi and a previously unstudied population of M. birostris. This research advances knowledge of key life history traits, reproductive strategies, population demographics and habitat use of M. alfredi, and elucidates the feeding and mating behaviour of both manta species. M. alfredi reproductive activity was found to vary considerably among years and appeared related to variability in abundance of the manta’s planktonic food, which in turn may be linked to large-scale weather patterns such as the Indian Ocean Dipole and El Niño-Southern Oscillation. Key to helping improve conservation efforts of M. alfredi was my finding that age at maturity for both females and males, estimated at 15 and 11 years respectively, appears up to 7 – 8 years higher respectively than previously reported. As the fecundity of this species, estimated at one pup every 7.3 years, also appeared two to more than three times lower than estimates from studies with more limited data, my work now marks M. alfredi as one of the world’s least fecund vertebrates. With such low fecundity and long maturation, M. alfredi are extremely vulnerable to overfishing and therefore needs complete protection from exploitation across its entire global range.
