Sizes of eight oviparous elasmobranch species hatched in two Mediterranean areasCapapé, Christian (Avtor) Ben Salem, Mohamed (Avtor) Ben Amor, Mohamed Mourad (Avtor) Elasmobranchssize at hatchingoviparous speciesTunisian coastLanguedocian coastMediterraneanIn the present paper, the authors report on the size of eight oviparous elasmobranch species hatched in two Mediterranean areas: off the Tunisian coast (central Mediterranean) and Languedocian coast (southern France, northern Mediterranean). Most of the observations were made in experimental conditions, from egg cases placed in tanks. For each species, no intraspecific variation was observed between specimens from both areas. In contrast, new hatched small spotted catsharks from the Mediterranean appeared to be smaller than those from the Atlantic.Centro di ricerche scientifiche della Repubblica di Slovenia20072015-07-10 18:27:08Delo ni kategorizirano5193sl
