Scientific Note Record of a tailless Richardson's ray Bathyraja richardsoni (Garrick, 1961) (Rajiformes: Arhynchobatidae) caught off the Mid-Atlantic ridge

چکیده
This note reports a complete loss of tail in young female Richardson's ray Bathyraja richardsoni. Some morphometric measurements are provided and compared with those of normal females of similar size. We suggest this loss of tail is result of predation on this specimen during juvenile state.

Five new records of elasmobranchs collected from eastern Taiwan fish markets, Da-xi and Cheng-gong, are presented. Samples were caught by deepsea longliners and bottom trawlers which operate in northeastern waters off Taiwan between 2004 and 2012. These five new species records include the smalltooth sandtiger, Odontaspis ferox (Risso, 1810) (Lamniformes: Odontaspididae), salamander shark, Parm...

This paper provides a summary of postcruise scientific results from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 209 available to date, building upon shipboard observations and syntheses summarized in the Leg 209 Initial Results volume. During Leg 209, 19 holes were drilled at 8 sites along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from 14°43′ to 15°44′N, mainly in residual mantle peridotite intruded by gabbroic rocks, in or...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Deep-Sea Ascomycetous Filamentous Fungus Cadophora malorum Mo12 from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Reveals Its Biotechnological Potential
Cadophora malorum Mo12 was isolated from the Rainbow hydrothermal site on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. We present the draft genome sequence of this filamentous fungal strain, which has high biotechnological potentials as revealed by the presence of genes encoding biotechnologically important enzymes and genes involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites.
