The Biology of Sharks and Rays is a thorough resource on the biological and physiological attributes of the cartilaginous fishes: sharks, rays, and chimaeras. In sixteen chapters, arranged by style, A.
Peter Klimley covers a broad spectrum of subjects, consisting of taxonomy, morphology, ecology, and physiology. He discusses the body style of sharks and why the ridged, toothlike denticles that cover their whole bodies are present on only part of the rays’ bodies and are missing from those of chimaeras.
Another chapter checks out the anatomy of the jaws and the function of the muscles and teeth in jaw extension, seizure, and handling of victim. The chapters are highly highlighted with images of sharks, diagrams of sensory organs, illustrations of the body postures of sharks throughout hazard and reproductive screens, and maps revealing the degree of the types’ foraging variety and long-distance migrations.
Each chapter begins with an anecdote from the author about his own individual experience with the subject, followed by thought-provoking concerns and a list of advised readings in the clinical literature.
The book will be a helpful book for sophisticated ichthyology trainees along with an encyclopedic source for those looking for a higher understanding of these remarkable animals.
