Neonate Australian cownose ray, Rhinoptera neglecta. Mum gave birth to two pups upon capture by a fisher who helps with our research in Papua New Guinea. Good reproductive info for a relatively poorly known (or neglecta'd...) species.

The silky shark is the second most common #elasmobranch by-catch species. Our new paper looks at their Intraspecific demographic parameters across regions. We outline the importance of sample size & eliminating human error in life history studies. doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsz1…

Historical data collection on sharks and rays has generally been poor. In some instances, so has maintaining data/specimens. This paper came about from mainly contemporary records gathered in the last 5 years - underlining how much there is yet to learn about this country ! nitter.cf/WillWhitesharks/status…
