Extinction risk, reconstructed catches, and management of chondrichthyan fishes in the Western Central Atlantic Ocean
Chondrichthyan fishes are among the most threatened vertebrates on the planet because many species have slow life histories that are outpaced by intense fishing. The Western Central Atlantic Ocean,…
Sixth sense in the deep-sea: the electrosensory system in ghost shark Chimaera monstrosa
TLDR
Ampullary organs of the ghost shark Chimaera monstrosa, a deep-sea species commonly captured as by-catch in the bottom trawl fishery, are described for the first time using macroscopic, ultrastructural and histological approaches, showing some anatomical peculiarities never described before in others cartilaginous fishes.

Leopard Seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) in New Zealand Waters Predating on Chondrichthyans
Leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) are top-order predators that prey on a wide variety of species including crustaceans, cephalopods, fishes, birds, and pinnipeds. While multiple diet studies have…
Comparative Study of Semen Parameters and Hormone Profile in Small-Spotted Catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula): Aquarium-Housed vs. Wild-Captured
TLDR
Evidence of good in vitro semen quality in S. canicula housed in an aquarium is provided, underlining their excellent potential for application in reproductive technologies for this and other chondrichthyan species.
State of Shark and Ray Genomics in an Era of Extinction
TLDR
It is proposed that this field is in dire need to move forward quickly to increase protection for marine species and ecosystems through improved collaboration between marine, molecular, and computer sciences.

Chimaera compacta, a new species from southern Indian Ocean, and an estimate of phylogenetic relationships within the genus Chimaera (Chondrichthyes: Chimaeridae)
TLDR
A new species of shortnose chimaera, described from a single specimen collected at 595–655 m depth, off Amsterdam Island, in the southern Indian Ocean, which has a nucleotide sequence divergence for the studied genes of 4.2 and 4.1% with its closest relatives.

Spatially congruent sites of importance for global shark and ray biodiversity
TLDR
Low congruency is found among all three measures of species richness, with the threatened species comprising a smaller subset of the overall species patterns irrespective of hotspot definition, and evolutionarily distinct species richness had the highest overlap with total species richness regardless of resolution or definition of hotspots.
On the presence of the Eastern Pacific Black Ghostshark Hydrolagus melanophasma (Chondrichthyes: Chimaeridae) in northern Chile, with notes on its distribution in the Eastern Pacific
TLDR
This work presents new records for this species based on specimens collected as bycatch in the Chilean Seabass, Dissostichus eleginoides Smith, 1898 fishery at a depth of 1800 m off Taltal (25°S), northern Chile, and reports the first record of a Gyrocotyle species as parasite in this species.
