Morphometric minefields—towards a measurement standard for chondrichthyan fishes (2006, background): “Scientists and observers in other parts of northeastern USA and eastern Canada also use OTB measurements (MacNeil and Campana 2002; Skomal and Natanson 2003; Campana et al. 2005).”
Stable isotope dynamics in elasmobranch fishes (2010, background): “Many shark species studied to date (e.g., blue shark Prionace glauca Linnaeus, 1758, Greenland shark Somniosus microcephalus Bloch & Schneider, 1801, and spiny dogfish) (Fisk et al., 2002; Estrada et al., 2003; Domi et al., 2005; MacNeill et al., 2005) have similarly low growth and metabolic rates (”
You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays (2008, background): “... are contrasting reasons for the Least Concern classifications: the pelagic stingray’s productive life-history should allow it to withstand relatively high fishing mortality, whereas the salmon shark is now subject to reduced fishing pressure on the high seas and management measures in the small ”
Age under-estimation in New Zealand porbeagle sharks (Lamna nasus): is there an upper limit to ages that can be determined from shark vertebrae? (2007, background): “including north-west Atlantic porbeagles, there is clear nonlinearity in the larger sharks (Natanson et al. 2002, 2006; Skomal and Natanson 2003), indicating that radial vertebral growth continues after somatic growth slows or ceases.”
