It is important to understand the ages, growth characteristics, maturation processes, and
longevity of fishes to assess their current population status and to predict how their populations …

Validated age and growth estimates are important for constructing age-structured population
dynamic models of chondrichthyan fishes, especially those which are exploited. We review …

Increasing fishing pressure on sharks stocks over recent decades has resulted in declines of
many populations and led to increasing concerns for their conservation. The extent of these …

Shark populations are declining globally, yet the movements and habitats of most species
are unknown. We used a satellite tag attached to the dorsal fin to track salmon sharks (Lamna …

The ability to perform age determinations based on the examination of hard anatomical parts
is of fundamental importance in fisheries research. Precise and accurate age information …

Despite the ecological significance of elasmobranchs as top-level predators in most marine
ecosystems (Cortés, 1999), information on their energetics and metabolism is meager. …

Stomach temperatures of three white sharks, Carcharodoncarcharias, (one reported previously
and two new individuals) were intermittently recorded by acoustic telemetry at the South …

A taxonomic re-evaluation of the status of the North Pacific Squalus suckleyi (Girard, 1854)
combining the use of meristic, morphological and molecular data reveal this species to be …

During the last several decades, studies on the aerobic metabolism of elasmobranchs have
relied on the use of indirect calorimetry centered on small, generally sedentary species that …

Despite long evolutionary separations, several sharks and tunas share the ability to maintain
slow-twitch, aerobic red muscle (RM) warmer than ambient water. Proximate causes of RM …
