Abstract 548 shark species were considered in this paper. They were classified in function of
their depth of occurrence: 218 deep, 114 transitory and 210 shallow. The diets of the 332 …

This review presents a synthesis of shark bioluminescence knowledge. Up to date,
bioluminescent sharks are found only in Squaliformes, and specifically in Etmopteridae …

Bait-based remote underwater video (BRUV) systems are effective devices for remotely
observing fish and other marine organisms in challenging environments. The development …

Bioluminescence has often been seen as a spectacular yet uncommon event at sea but
considering the vastness of the deep sea and the occurrence of luminous organisms in this …

Both sharks and humans present a potentially lethal threat to mesopredatory fishes in coral
reef systems, with implications for both population dynamics and the role of mesopredatory …

Amongst other factors, topographic features can influence the genetic variability among
populations of marine organisms. This applies to host species but also to their parasites …

The trait-based approach provides a powerful perspective for analyzing fisheries and their
potential impact on marine ecological processes, offering crucial insights into sustainability …

There is global awareness that many species of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) have life
history characteristics that make them susceptible to overexploitation. The study of these …

In order to collect information on ichthyofauna of a deep-sea vulnerable marine ecosystem
(VME) network along the Apulian margin (central Mediterranean Sea), two low-impact …
