Ideally you want to track them for several years,' says Irene Kingma of the Dutch
Elasmobranch Society.
In contrast, other pelagic
elasmobranchs have longer point-to-point movements, such as the tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier (3,500 km) (Lea et al.
Implications for fisheries management Small and benthic (or benthopelagic)
elasmobranch species tend to exhibit more distinct population structures at smaller spatial scales than those exhibited by large pelagic species (Larson et al., 2017).

elasmobranch fishes: ecological and behavioral considerations.
Lastly, there is one powerful sensory adaptation present in all
elasmobranch that consisted of multiple small subcutaneous vesicles located around the head, snout, or mouth area.
It is important to note that, in the depth ranges we surveyed, both benthic
elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays) and chimaerids (ratfishes) are common in southern California waters [17,18].
Age determination of
elasmobranchs presents unique challenges compared to that of teleosts.

elasmobranch (Squalus acanthias) by x-ray spectrometry.
The MDS plot shown in Figure 3B revealed significant differences in fish and
elasmobranch bycatch assemblages between fishing grounds (ANOSIM.
