Upcoming Meetings:
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
EEA2016
28-30th October 2016
EEA2016 will be hosted by the Shark Trust and held at Bristol Aquarium, Bristol UK.
The conference will provide an excellent forum for discussion and networking bringing together researchers, advocates and students from across Europe and beyond.
With sessions reflecting the three pillars of the Shark Trust’s work and the key objectives of the recently launched Global Shark and Ray Initiative (GSRI), the Shark Trust invites you to submit abstracts for oral (15 minute and 5 minute options) and poster presentations under the following themes:
- Species Conservation
- Fisheries Management
- Responsible Trade and Consumption
There will also be a number of general sessions covering a broad range of topics depending on submissions.
The Shark Trust encourages speakers to consider the potential management or conservation applications of their research and reflect them in their presentations - abstract selection will be undertaken by the Conference Committee.
Abstract submission & Student Bursary applications. Closing date 17th September
Registration: Don't miss out on the EARLY BIRD registration rates: register today!
More information on the keynote speakers and social opportunities will be released through the website in the coming weeks - so check back for more details!
Hope to see you all in October!

International Marine Conservation Congress
30 July - 3 August 2016 • St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (YYT)
To conserve the world’s oceans we must go beyond science, and use it to inform policy and management, and ultimately to catalyze change. The Society for Conservation Biology's International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC) brings together conservation professionals and students to develop new and powerful tools to further marine conservation science and policy.
The Call for Abstracts is currently open!
IMCCs are organized by the Marine Section of the Society for Conservation Biology.
UPDATED INFORMATION AT http://encuentro2016.squalus.org/

The deadline for abstract submission is January 15, 2016. Additional details can be found on the website, along with a printable meeting poster (poster attached here as well).
This international gathering of whale shark scientists, conservationists and decision-makers will feature the most recent advances in research, conservation and management of whale sharks globally. The meeting will further highlight research on whale shark populations in the Arabian Gulf. The conference will integrate six themes: 1) Growth and Reproduction, 2) Behavior and Ecology; 3) Physiology; 4) Genetics; 5) Wildlife Tourism; and 6) Threats and Management. Meeting proceedings will be published in the peer-reviewed, open access journal Qscience Connect (http://www.qscience.com/loi/connect).

Newly described species/Taxonomic News:
EXTANT:
CONCHA, F.J. & EBERT, D.E. & LONG, D.J. (2016): Notoraja martinezi sp. nov., a new species of deepwater skate and the first record of the genus Notoraja Ishiyama, 1958 (Rajiformes: Arhynchobatidae) from the eastern Pacific Ocean. Zootaxa, 4098 (1): 179–1902
New species: Notoraja martinezi
Abstract: A new arhynchobatid skate, Notoraja martinezi, sp. nov., is described from four specimens collected from the eastern Central Pacific from Costa Rica to Ecuador and between depths of 1256–1472 m. The new species is placed in the genus Notorajabased on the long and flexible rostrum and its proportionally long tail with respect to total length. This species is distinct from its congeners in the Western Pacific by the straight margins of its rostrum, long anterior lobes of pelvic fins, and its abundant and very well developed caudal thorns.

IVANOV, A.O. & NESTELL, M.K. & NESTELL, G.P. (2015): Middle Permian fish microremains from the Early Capitanian of the Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas, USA. Micropaleontology, 61 (4-5): 301-312
New species: Cooleyella duffini
Abstract: A diverse fish microremain assemblage, including the symmoriiform sharkStethacanthulus, jalodontid Texasodus, hybodontiform "Polyacrodus", neoselachian Cooleyella; haplolepid, elonichthyid actinopterygians and Varialepis; as well as undetermined symmoriiforms, euselachians and actinopterygians, is described from the Rader Limestone Member of the Bell Canyon Formation (Capitanian, Middle Permian) of the "Rader Slide" section, the Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas, USA. The assemblage contains widely distributed taxa and one new species Cooleyella duffini found at two Permian localities of Nevada and Texas. The internal structure in the teeth of S. meccaensis is first reconstructed and illustrated using microtomography.

Researchers evaluated movements of highly mobile sharks in relation to protected areas

One of the marvelous things about the ocean is how alien it often feels to us terrestrials, especially when we come across one of the many unusual-looking species that call it home. There’s no better biome than the deep blue sea to remind us just how diverse our planet’s lifeforms really are.

It lived millions of years ago and was three times as large as the great white shark: the megalodon. So far its extinction has been explained with the onset of an ice age. However, researchers have now come to the conclusion that responsibility for the decline of the monster shark lays not with the climate, but with other species.
Study shows shark conservation needs to include alternative livelihoods for fin harvesters
Every scar tells a story. Whales migrating through tropical waters often carry crater-like wounds, and cookie-cutter sharks looked like the culprits. But we lacked data on how frequent suchattacks by sharks on whales might be, and where and when they happen.
- Shark spotted by intrepid kayaker off the coast of Kilkee, Ireland
- He films the fish's fin sticking out as well as its route underwater
- Its cavernous mouth is wide open as it swims past
- Local media reported that 20 basking sharks had been spotted in the area
- They are not aggressive and are harmless to humans
Latest analysis shows that human limbs share a genetic programme with the gills of cartilaginous fishes such as sharks and skates, providing evidence to support a century-old theory on the origin of limbs that had been widely discounted. |
