Complete mitochondrial genome of the longfin mako shark, Isurus paucus (Chondrichthyes, Lamnidae).

On the occurrence of the longfin mako, Isurus paucus (Chondrichthyes: Isuridae) off the Algerian coast (southwestern Mediterranean)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the salmon shark, Lamna ditropis (Chondrichthyes, Lamnidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the salmon shark consists of 16,699 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 replication origin region and 1 control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of the salmon shark is the same as that of most vertebrates. Base composition of the genome is A (29.6%), T (28.6%), C (27.1%), and G (14.8%).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias (Chondrichthyes, Lamnidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the great white shark having 16,744 bp and including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 replication origin region and 1 control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of the great white shark is the same as the one observed in the most vertebrates. Base composition of the genome is A (30.6%), T (28.7%), C (26.9%) and G (13...

Patterns of red muscle strain/activation and body kinematics during steady swimming in a lamnid shark, the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus).

The dynamics of steady swimming were examined in the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus), a member of the cartilaginous fish family Lamnidae, a family known for their morphological adaptations for high-performance locomotion and their similarity in hydromechanical design to tunas. Patterns of red muscle (RM) strain (i.e. relative length change) and activation were quantified at two axial position...

Southernmost record of Isurus paucus Gitart Manday , 1966 ( Elasmobranchii : Lamnidae ) in the southeast Pacific Ocean

Resumen.Se informa sobre el registro más austral del marrajo de aleta larga Isurus paucus Gitart Manday, 1966 en el Pacífico suroriental. El ejemplar correspondió a una hembra de 310 cm de longitud total, capturada por un pesquero artesanal frente a la costa de Valparaíso, Chile, por un pesquero artesanal cuya especie objetivo era el marrajo de aleta corta, I. oxyrinchus. Los principales caract...
