A new species of chimaerid, Hydrolagus erithacus sp. nov., is described from nine specimens collected the southeast Atlantic and southwest Indian oceans depths 470-1,000 meters. This distinguished all other based on following characteristics: head bulky, relatively large, followed by stocky body; body height about pectoral fin origin to pelvic similar, then tapering rapidly filamentous tail; first dorsal spine equal to, or slightly less than apex height; second up 81% total length uniform in...
Three new species of Chimaera are described from the Southwestern Indian Ocean. willwatchi sp. nov. is distinguished by its large body, blocky head with square snout, well-defined suborbital ridges, and a strong dorsal spine exceeding first apex; body brown-purple in color, slight iridescent sheen, heavily mottled around mouth ventral surface, posterior edge pelvic fins fin prominent white margin, anterior second margin. didierae can be light tan slender short trunk, long tail, relatively...
An integrated taxonomic approach, combining both morphological and molecular data, was adopted to investigate the Hydrolagus lemures-ogilbyi group in Indo-Australian region. Single mitochondrial markers (CO1 NADH2) provided evidence supporting separation of four distinct species this group. However, detailed data collected from specimens across their range failed find any consistent differences, many features previously considered be diagnostic were found variable. Nuclear DNA also support...
To use suitable objective methods of analysis to assess the influence combination an integrated-circuit computed tomographic (CT) detector and iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms on visualization small (≤3-mm) coronary artery stents.By using a moving heart phantom, 18 data sets obtained from three stents with diameters were investigated. A second-generation dual-source CT system equipped was used. Images reconstructed filtered back-projection (FBP) IR at section thickness 0.75 mm (FBP75...
A new species of chimaeroid, Chimaera carophila sp. nov., is described from 37 specimens collected deepwater slopes and seamounts around New Zealand. The distinguished its closest congeners, fulva Didier et al. 2008, macrospina obscura by uniform pale-brown coloration, geographic distribution, a combination morphological characters, including longer dorsal ventral caudal fin bases, shorter first height, spine, claspers that are divided distally for one-third their length. nov. also can be...
A new species of chimaera, Chimaera notafricana sp. nov., is described from specimens collected off the west and south coasts southern Africa. The distinguished its closest congener, eastern North Atlantic monstrosa, by a combination morphometric characters coloration: pectoral fin when depressed reaches to origin pelvic base; caudal ventral margin terminating slightly posterior dorsal insertion; distance anterior base dorsal-fin spine center supratemporal canal short (6.5–14.8% HDL);...
We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence (16 555 bp) of Philippines spurdog, Squalus montalbani, currently listed as Vulnerable due to population declines and fishing pressures. A phylogenetic analysis was carried out on S. montalbani representative shark mitogenomes. placed within Squaliformes a sister taxon acanthias Cirrhigaleus australis.
The complete mitochondrial genome (16,726 bp) of the winghead shark, Eusphyra blochii is presented. This species exploited throughout parts its range, and currently listed as Near Threatened by IUCN Red List. A phylogenetic analysis placed E. within Carcharhiniformes, a sister taxon to Sphyrna lewini S. zygaena.
