  • Vertebral Morphology, Dentition, Age, Growth, and Ecology of the Large Lamniform Shark Cardabiodon Ricki
    Vertebral morphology, dentition, age, growth, and ecology of the large lamniform shark Cardabiodon ricki MICHAEL G. NEWBREY, MIKAEL SIVERSSON, TODD D. COOK, ALLISON M. FOTHERINGHAM, and REBECCA L. SANCHEZ Newbrey, M.G., Siversson, M., Cook, T.D., Fotheringham, A.M., and Sanchez, R.L. 2015. Vertebral morphology, denti- tion, age, growth, and ecology of the large lamniform shark Cardabiodon ricki. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 60 (4): 877–897. Cardabiodon ricki and Cardabiodon venator were large lamniform sharks with a patchy but global distribution in the Cenomanian and Turonian. Their teeth are generally rare and skeletal elements are less common. The centra of Cardabiodon ricki can be distinguished from those of other lamniforms by their unique combination of characteristics: medium length, round articulating outline with a very thick corpus calcareum, a corpus calcareum with a laterally flat rim, robust radial lamellae, thick radial lamellae that occur in low density, concentric lamellae absent, small circular or subovate pores concentrated next to each corpus calcareum, and papillose circular ridges on the surface of the corpus calcareum. The large diameter and robustness of the centra of two examined specimens suggest that Cardabiodon was large, had a rigid vertebral column, and was a fast swimmer. The sectioned corpora calcarea show both individuals deposited 13 bands (assumed to represent annual increments) after the birth ring. The identification of the birth ring is supported in the holotype of Cardabiodon ricki as the back-calculated tooth size at age 0 is nearly equal to the size of the smallest known isolated tooth of this species. The birth ring size (5–6.6 mm radial distance [RD]) overlaps with that of Archaeolamna kopingensis (5.4 mm RD) and the range of variation of Cretoxyrhina mantelli (6–11.6 mm RD) from the Smoky Hill Chalk, Niobrara Formation.

  • Naskah Kebijakan Perlindungan
    ANALISIS KEBIJAKAN KEBUTUHAN REGULASI PENETAPAN STATUS PERLINDUNGAN TERBATAS IKAN HIU (Tidak Dilindungi dan Apendiks/Non Apendiks CITES) DIREKTORAT KONSERVASI DAN KEANEKARAGAMAN HAYATI LAUT DIREKTORAT JENDERAL PENGELOLAAN RUANG LAUT KEMENTERIAN KELAUTAN DAN PERIKANAN 2016 i KATA PENGANTAR Tingkat keanekaragaman hayati laut Indonesia diperkirakan menjadi salah satu yang tertinggi di dunia sehingga dapat dikatakan sebagai the center of marine biodiversity in the world . Salah satu sumber daya laut yang telah dimanfaatkan, baik untuk kepentingan penelitian, budaya dan ekonomi, oleh masyarakat adalah ikan hiu. Wilayah perairan Indonesia sendiri memiliki hampir sepertiga dari total spesies hiu di seluruh dunia. Memperhatikan jumlah atau keberadaan spesies hiu yang banyak di perairan Indonesia, maka sudah seyogyanya pemerintah, masyarakat, serta seluruh pihak yang berkepentingan untuk bersama-sama mengupayakan keberlangsungan atau kelestarian sumber daya ikan hiu itu sendiri. Sehingga, sumber daya ikan hiu dapat dimanfaatkan secara berkelanjutan dengan terus memperhatikan prinsip konservasi atau aspek pengelolaan dan perlindungannya. Upaya perlindungan dan pengelolaan perikanan hiu secara komprehensif di Indonesia merupakan hal yang sangat penting dan mendesak untuk dilakukan. Selain itu, implementasi rencana aksi perlindungan dan pengelolaan sumber daya ikan hiu secara nasional dapat ditempuh dalam beberapa tahapan atau paling tidak dengan membuat proyek-proyek percontohan yang mengarah pada pelaksanaan yang utuh dari Rencana Aksi Nasional. Selanjutnya, sebagai salah satu negara yang telah mengesahkan konvensi internasional, seperti Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), Indonesia tentu perlu menyesuaikan peraturan atau legislasi nasional di dalam negeri dengan regulasi internasional, secara khusus yang menangani perdagangan satwa liar, dalam hal ini ikan hiu. Penetapan status perlindungan ikan hiu di Indonesia perlu diatur lebih lanjut dalam peraturan perundang-undangan di tingkat nasional.

The shark fauna of the Upper Cretaceous Hinoshima Formation (Santonian: 86.3–83.6 Ma) of the manuscriptHimenoura Group (Kamiamakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan) was investigated based on fossil shark teeth found at five localities: Himedo Park, Kugushima, Wadanohana, Higashiura, and Kotorigoe. A detailed geological survey and taxonomic analysis was undertaken, and the habitat, depositional environment, and associated mollusks of each locality were considered in the context of previous studies. Twenty-one species, 15 genera, 11 families, and 6 orders of fossil sharks are recognized from the localities. This assemblage is more diverse than has previously been reported for Japan, and Lamniformes and Hexanchiformes were abundant. Three categories of shark fauna are recognized: a coastal region (Himedo Park; probably a breeding site), the coast to the open sea (Kugushima and Wadanohana), and bottom-dwelling or near-seafloor fauna (Kugushima, Wadanohana, Higashiura, and Kotorigoe).

    A5 By-catch Species APPENDIX 5: BY-CATCH SPECIES A.5 By-catch species By-catch is the unintentional/incidental capture of non-target species during fishing operations. Different types of fisheries have different types and levels of by-catch, depending on the gear used, the time, area and depth fished, etc. Article IV of the Convention states: "the Commission shall be responsible for the study of the population of tuna and tuna-like fishes (the Scombriformes with the exception of Trichiuridae and Gempylidae and the genus Scomber) and such other species of fishes exploited in tuna fishing in the Convention area as are not under investigation by another international fishery organization". The following is a list of by-catch species recorded as being ever caught by any major tuna fishery in the Atlantic/Mediterranean. Note that the lists are qualitative and are not indicative of quantity or mortality. Thus, the presence of a species in the lists does not imply that it is caught in significant quantities, or that individuals that are caught necessarily die.

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.

In Río de Las Minas, the upper section of the Priabonian Loreto Formation have yielded material referable to the taxa Megascyliorhinus sp., Pristiophorus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and Callorhinchus sp. In Sierra Dorotea, middle-to-late Eocene levels of the Río Turbio Formation have provided teeth referable to the taxa Striatolamia macrota (Agassiz), Palaeohypotodus rutoti (Winkler), Squalus aff. weltoni Long, Carcharias sp., Paraorthacodus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and indeterminate Myliobatids. These new records show the presence of common chondrichtyan diversity along most of the Magallanes Basin. The new record of Paraorthacodus sp. and P. rutoti, support the extension of their respective biochrons in the Magallanes Basin and likely in the southeastern Pacific. Keywords: Cartilaginous fishes, Weddellian Province, Southernmost Chile. RESUMEN.

Overview As stated in the previous section, the establishment of the Yarari fishing for sharks in the Netherlands and places new pressure on Marine Mammal and Shark Sanctuary was an important step fishermen to implement new techniques and updated fishing gear in protecting the shark and ray species of the Dutch Caribbean. to avoid accidentally catching sharks and rays as bycatch. Overall, there is a significant lack of information concerning these vital species within Dutch Caribbean waters. Fortunately, this There are several different international treaties and legisla- trend is changing and in the last few years there has been a push tion which offer protection to these species. This includes the to increase research, filling in the historic knowledge gap. Sharks Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and rays are difficult species to protect as they tend to have long the Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) protocol and reproduction cycles, varying between 3 and 30 years, small litters, the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS). Scientists are just which means they do not recover quickly when overfished and can beginning to uncover the complexities of managing conservation travel over great distances which makes them difficult to track. efforts for these species, as they often have long migration routes which put them in danger if international waters are not managed Early in 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and protected equally.

  • Palaeoecology and Depositional Environments of the Tendaguru Beds (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, Tanzania)
    Mitt. Mus. Nat.kd. Berl., Geowiss. Reihe 5 (2002) 19-44 10.11.2002 Palaeoecology and depositional environments of the Tendaguru Beds (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, Tanzania) Martin Aberhan ', Robert Bussert2, Wolf-Dieter Heinrich', Eckhart Schrank2, Stephan Schultkal, Benjamin Sames3, Jiirgen =wet4 & Saidi Kapilima5 With 6 figures, 2 tables, and 2 plates Abstract The Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Tendaguru Beds (Tanzania, East Africa) have been well known for nearly a century for their diverse dinosaur assemblages. Here, we present sedimentological and palaeontological data collected by the German- Tanzanian Tendaguru Expedition 2000 in an attempt to reconstruct the palaeo-ecosystems of the Tendaguru Beds at their type locality. Our reconstructions are based on sedimentological data and on a palaeoecological analysis of macroinverte- brates, microvertebrates, plant fossils and microfossils (ostracods, foraminifera, charophytes, palynomorphs). In addition, we included data from previous expeditions, particularly those on the dinosaur assemblages. The environmental model of the Tendaguru Beds presented herein comprises three broad palaeoenvironmental units in a marginal marine setting: (1) Lagoon-like, shallow marine environments above fair weather wave base and with evidence of tides and storms. These formed behind barriers such as ooid bar and siliciclastic sand bar complexes and were generally subject to minor salinity fluctuations. (2) Extended tidal flats and low-relief coastal plains. These include low-energy, brackish coastal lakes and ponds as well as pools and small fluvial channels of coastal plains in which the large dinosaurs were buried. Since these environments apparently were, at best, poorly vegetated, the main feeding grounds of giant sauropods must have been elsewhere.
