A review of capture and post‐release mortality of elasmobranchs
There is a need to better understand the survivorship of discarded fishes, both for
commercial stocks and species of conservation concern. Within European waters, the …

White shark genome reveals ancient elasmobranch adaptations associated with wound healing and the maintenance of genome stability
The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias; Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) is one of the
most publicly recognized marine animals. Here we report the genome sequence of the white …

The skin microbiome of the common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus) has low taxonomic and gene function β‐diversity
The health of sharks, like all organisms, is linked to their microbiome. At the skin interface,
sharks have dermal denticles that protrude above the mucus, which may affect the types of …
