NEWS/ OWN RESEARCH
ADJUSTMENT OF CITATION STYLE IN SHARK REFERENCES We started to change our old (and unique!) citation style to adapt to the APA citation style (for information please see: https://www.mendeley.com/guides/apa-citation-guide) to make the usage of references listed in shark references easier and more compatible with a widely accepted reference style adopted by several international scientific journals. The transition is ongoing, so far 13600 references are changed. In particular this means that the former style of this example: VILLATE‐MORENO, M. & POLLERSPÖCK, J. & KREMER‐OBROCK, F. & STRAUBE, N. (2021) Molecular analyses of confiscated shark fins reveal shortcomings of CITES implementations in Germany. Conservation Science and Practice, 3 (6): e398 DOI: 10.1111/csp2.398now looks like: Villate‐Moreno, M. & Pollerspöck, J. & Kremer‐Obrock, F. & Straube, N.

It is to inform you about upcoming in 2022 the Special Issue of the Journal of Ichthyology dealing with primitive fishes, including sharks, skates, and chimaeras.
Alexei Orlov
Special Issue description
Non-teleost fishes that are the living representatives of ancient lineages are often considered to be ‘primitive’ or ‘living fossils’. These terms are not entirely accurate in terms of vertebrate evolution. According to modern concepts, primitive fishes include hagfishes (Myxini), lampreys (Petromyzontiformes), sharks and skates/rays (Elasmobranchii), ratfishes/chimaeras (Holocephali), coelacanths (Coelacanthi), lungfishes and tetrapods (Dipneusti), bichirs/reedfishes (Cladistii), sturgeons (Acipenseridae) and paddlefishes (Polyodontidae), gars (Lepisosteidae), bowfins (Amiidae), and others. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge of primitive fishes with respect to:
- Evolution, phylogeny, phylogeography, and molecular biology
- Taxonomy and zoogeography
- Ecology and life history
- Harvesting, stock assessment, and fisheries management
- Physiology
- Artificial propagation and aquaculture
- Conservation and stock rebuilding

Upcoming Meetings:
The 24th Annual Scientific Meeting of the European Elasmobranch Association is planned to be held by the Dutch member group Nederlandse Elasmobranchen Vereniging (NEV) in Leiden, the Netherlands between 3rd and 5th November, 2021.
NEV, in consultation with the EEA Board, has decided to tentatively organise this year’s EEA Meeting as an in-person meeting. Luckily, NEV was able of having secured the same prime venue at the fascinating Naturalis Biodiversity Center! Leiden is a beautiful old university town just 20 mins from Schiphol airport and international train station.
Prior to the main meeting we will organise an online session on November 2nd to allow those who cannot attend in person to contribute.
We understand that there is still a lot of uncertainty as far as travel etc. is concerned. In mid-July we will make the decision whether or not to host a live event.
If an in-person meeting is not possible the entire EEA2021 will be online.
In the coming weeks the website for early registration will be updated, as well as opening the abstract submission for either an online or live presentation.
Details can be found on the NEV website: https://www.elasmobranch.nl/eea2021/

TAXONOMIC NEWS/ NEW SPECIES
Extant Chondrichthyes:
no taxonomic news this month
Extinct Chondrichthyes:
Popov, E.V. & Shapovalov, K.M. (2021): A New Genus of Elephant Fish (Holocephali: Callorhinchidae) from the Late Jurassic of Central Russia. Paleontological Journal, 55(4), 410–420
New genus: Moskovirhynchus
New species: Moskovirhynchus robustus
Abstract: This article describes Moskovirhynchus robustus gen. et sp. nov., a new genus and species of elephant fish from two Upper Jurassic (Boreal middle Volgian Substage, virgatus Zone) localities of Moscow and the Moscow region, based on isolated mandibular, palatine and vomerine dental plates. The dentition of the new genus bears a morphological resemblance to that of the Recent elephant fish genus Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798, but is characterized by a mosaic combination of primitive (on palatine tooth plates) and advanced (on both palatine and mandibular plates) dental characters—e.g., presence of asymmetrical bifurcated median tritor on mandibular plates and reduced tritors on palatine plates (an advanced condition for callorhinchids) together with a well-developed aboral area of palatine plate (a primitive condition). The new taxon, known only from dental elements, represents the oldest representative of the Callorhinchidae sensu stricto.

International Journal for Parasitology–Parasites and Wildlife, 15, 43–50
New genus: Aetohemecus, Homestios
New species: Aetohemecus kirstenjensenae, Homestios janinecairae
Abstract: Specimens representing two new species of blood flukes (Digenea: Aporocotylidae), each representing a new genus, were collected from the banded eagle ray, Aetomylaeus nichofii (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) Capapé and Desoutter, 1979, in Borneo, Indonesia. Aetohemecus kirstenjensenae n. sp., n. gen. infected the heart of a banded eagle ray from Manggar, East Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia, and differs from its congeners by having an oviducal ampullae, an oötype posterior to all genitalia, and a uterus that extends anterior to the ovary. The new species resembles Selachohemecus spp., which infect requiem sharks (Carcharhinidae) in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, by having a single ventrolateral row of large C-shaped tegumental spines, X- or H-shaped intestine, and a post-caecal ovary. Specimens of Homestios janinecairae n. sp., n. gen. infected the heart of a banded eagle ray from Takisung, South Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia. The new species resembles other blood flukes that infect rays (Batoidea) by having a single, curving testis and an inverse U-shaped intestine as well as by lacking tegumental spines. It differs from all aporocotylids infecting batoids that lack spines by having a uterus that extends anteriad beyond the level of the seminal vesicle. The present study comprises the first record of an aporocotylid from Indonesia or from an eagle ray (Myliobatidae). To our knowledge, these are the first trematodes reported from a species of Aetomylaeus. The proposals of new genera and the description of two new species herein brings the total number of nominal chondrichthyan blood flukes to 13 species of 11 genera.
Beveridge, I. & Koehler, A. & Appy, R.G. (2021): Eutetrarhynchus pacificus n. sp. (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha) from Raja inornata Jordan & Gilbert (Batoidea: Rajiformes) off the coast of California with comments on congeners. Systematic Parasitology, 98(3), 291–305
New species: Eutetrarhynchus pacificus
Abstract: Eutetrarhynchus pacificus n. sp. is described from the spiral valve of Raja inornata Jordan & Gilbert off the coast of California, USA. The new species is distinguished from E. ruficollis (Eysenhardt, 1829) and E. leucomelanus (Shipley & Hornell, 1906) in having acraspedote rather than craspedote segments and a saccate rather than a branched uterus. It is distinguished from E. platycephali Palm, 2004 in lacking an enlarged hook in the eighth row of the basal armature and from E. beveridgei Schaeffner, 2013, which has a basal swelling and a distinctive basal armature. A partial redescription of E. ruficollis, the type-species of the genus, is provided based on available museum specimens, highlighting the need for a comprehensive redescription of this species to better define the characteristics of the genus. The presence of an undescribed species in museum collections is also noted. Based on the 28S ribosomal gene, the new species clustered with Dollfusiella in a molecular phylogenetic tree. The delimitation of Eutetrarhynchus and its relationship with Dollfusiella is discussed.

Shark diversity unaffected when the dinosaurs were wiped out, study finds
Selective extinction of apex predators suggests a shift to more generalist diets
- Date: August 10, 2021
- Source: PLOS
- Summary: A global catastrophe 66 million years ago led to the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs, and large marine reptiles like mosasaurs and plesiosaurs. But what happened to the sharks? According to a new study, shark-tooth diversity remained relatively constant across the mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous.

Understanding cookiecutter sharks
University of Delaware examines the diet and habitat of the elusive Cookiecutter shark
- Date: August 23, 2021
- Source: University of Delaware
- Summary: A little understood species of shark, known for taking cookie cutter-shaped bites out of everything from white sharks and whales to the rubber coated sonar sensors on submarines and even underwater electrical cables, is the subject of a new study. While the deep sea dwelling Cookiecutter shark will take a chomp out of anything it encounters in the upper reaches of the ocean, it really feasts on crustaceans, squid and small fish found in their habitat.

Protruding eyes, mouth make stingrays more hydrodynamically efficient
Simulated stingrays show boost in thrust, cruising speed, and overall efficiency, pointing to potential design principles in next-generation aquatic vehicles
- Date: August 31, 2021
- Source: American Institute of Physics
- Summary: Researchers detail how the protruding eyes and mouths on simulated stingrays affect a range of forces involved in propulsion, such as pressure and vorticity. They created a computer model of a self-propelled flexible plate that mimicked a stingray's up-and-down harmonic oscillations and used it to illustrate the complex interplay between hydrodynamic forces. The group found that the eyes and mouth help streamline stingrays even further.

Tiger sharks have social preferences for one another
New research indicates that baited shark diving can influence tiger shark social behavior
- Date: September 3, 2021
- Source: University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science
- Summary: Scientists have found that tiger sharks, often considered a solitary nomadic species, are social creatures, having preferences for one another.
