Biology of sharks and their relatives (2nd Edition) - Original PDF

خلاصه: We developed the content and published Biology of
Sharks and Their Relatives (Volume I) because of a need
for an updated, timely reference volume on the biology
of sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras. In the Preface
to that first volume, we noted that little in the way of
comprehensive summaries of chondrichthyan biology
had been done since the volumes of research papers
produced by Perry Gilbert in 1963 and 1967. Sharks and
Survival and Sharks, Skates, and Rays, at that time, provided a comprehensive examination of shark research
and served as points of departure for future studies. It
was over 20 years after the publication of Dr. Gilbert’s
edited volumes that Elasmobranchs as Living Resources,
edited by Wes Pratt, Sonny Gruber, and Toru Taniuchi,
was published in 1990, followed nearly a decade later by
Will Hamlett’s extensive review (1999) of the anatomy
and fine structure of elasmobranch fishes.
