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.

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.

Its bioactivity is influenced by sulfation degree and pattern, and 39 distinct sulfation in marine CS may open new therapeutic possibilities. In this 40 context, we studied for the first time the isolation and characterisation of CS from 41 Rabbit Fish (Chimaera monstrosa). We propose an efficient process starting with 42 enzymatic hydrolysis, followed by chemical treatments and ending in membrane 43 purification. All steps were optimised by response surface methodology.

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.

  • Fossil Chimaeroid Remains (Chondrichthyes: Holocephali) from Williamsburg County, South Carolina, Usa
    Paludicola 8(1):37-48 September 2010 © by the Rochester Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology FOSSIL CHIMAEROID REMAINS (CHONDRICHTHYES: HOLOCEPHALI) FROM WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA David J. Cicimurri Campbell Geology Museum, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina 29634 <[email protected]> ABSTRACT Three fossil holocephalian tooth plates have been recovered in Kingstree, Williamsburg County, South Carolina. All of the fossils were collected from a lag deposit containing a temporally mixed vertebrate assemblage. Two specimens, an incomplete left mandibular tooth plate and an incomplete left palatine tooth plate, are Edaphodon and compare favorably to E. mirificus. The third specimen is an incomplete and highly abraded right mandibular tooth plate from a very young individual that is questionably referred to Edaphodon. The tooth plates were associated with Cretaceous shark and dinosaur teeth, Paleocene shark and crocodilian teeth and turtle bones, and Plio-Pleistocene shark teeth and terrestrial mammal remains. The source of the Cretaceous fossils is arguably from Maastrichtian (late Cretaceous) strata (i.e., Peedee or Steel Creek formations), whereas Paleocene fossils are likely derived from the Danian (lower Paleocene) Rhems Formation. These fossils were probably concentrated together during Plio- Pleistocene sea level highstand, at which time the younger vertebrate material was deposited. INTRODUCTION Fossils from Clapp Creek came to the attention of Rudy Mancke (then Curator of Natural History at the Some of the geologic history of the South South Carolina State Museum) in the mid 1980s, and Carolina Coastal Plain is preserved as a complex soon thereafter he alerted Bruce Lampright (then of stratigraphic sequence that is far from completely Coastal Carolina University) to the fossil deposits to be understood.
