Egg capsules of the raspthorn sandskate, Psammobatis scobina (Philippi, 1857) (Rajiformes, Rajidae)

Francisco Concha; Sebastián Hernández; María Cristina Oddone

En diciembre de 2005 se recolectaron capsulas ovigeras de dos hembras de Psammobatis scobina, capturadas en Caleta Montemar, Chile central (32o57�S-71o33�W). La superficie de las capsulas fue suave y finamente estriada, de color cafe y translucida. Ademas presentaron la tipica forma de barril. La longitud central fluctuo entre 35,25 mm y 38,45 mm y su ancho vario entre 25,91 mm y 27,94 mm. La cara dorsal es convexa con respecto a la ventral. Los cuernos anteriores son mas cortos que los posteriores, se orientan hacia el interior y se estrechan hasta adquirir forma de zarcillos hacia las puntas. Los zarcillos laterales resultaron ser un caracter diagnostico entre especies del mismo genero en Chile. Esta es la primera descripcion de las capsulas ovigeras de P. scobina, especie endemica para las costas del sur de Sudamerica

Egg capsules of the dusky catshark Bythaelurus canescens (Carcharhiniformes, Scyliorhinidae) from the south-eastern Pacific Ocean

Francisco Concha; Carlos Bustamante; M. C. Oddone; Sebastián Hernández; Julio Lamilla

The external morphology of the egg capsule of Bythaelurus canescens and its fixation to the substratum are described. Bythaelurus canescens egg capsules are typically vase-shaped, dorso-ventrally flattened, pale yellow in colour when fresh and covered by 12-15 longitudinal ridges. The anterior border of the capsule is straight, whereas the posterior border is semicircular. Two horns bearing long, coiled tendrils arise from the anterior and posterior ends of the capsule. The presence of longitudinal ridges and long coiled tendrils at both anterior and posterior ends of the capsule readily distinguish these egg capsules from those of other chondrichthyans occurring in the south-east Pacific Ocean.

Evidence for multiple paternity in the school shark Galeorhinus galeus found in New Zealand waters

Sebastián Hernández; C. Duffy; Malcolm P. Francis; Peter A. Ritchie

This study assessed the levels of relatedness of Galeorhinus galeus of progeny arrays using six microsatellite DNA markers. A parentage analysis from five families (mother and litter) from the North Island of New Zealand suggested the occurrence of genetic polyandry in G. galeus with two of the five litters showing multiple sires involved in the progeny arrays. This finding may be consistent with the reproductive characteristics of G. galeus, in which females can potentially store sperm for long periods of time after the mating season.

Seasonal variation in fish bycatch associated with an artisanal flounder fishery on Coquimbo Bay, Chile

Sebastián Hernández; María Teresa González; Juan Carlos Villarroel; Enzo Acuña

Seasonal bycatch composition of the flounder gillnet fishery in the Coquimbo Bay, between October 2006 and November 2007 was analyzed. Landed species were identified and weighted (kg). These data set was used to estimate the relative importance of weight and frequency of occurrence of each species in relation to the total catch. To evaluate the seasonal variation of landed species, we performed cluster analyses (based on frequency of occurrence, mean weight, CPUE), and correspondence analysis (frequency of occurrence; CPUE). Thirty-two species were recorded as bycatch, being the most frequent species, the Chondrichthyan, Callorhinchus callorhynchus, Squatina armata and Mustelus mento. Paralichthys spp., C. callorhynchus, M. mento, Myliobatis chilensis, S. armata and Thyrsites atun, were strongly associated with spring and summer seasons; while Sciaena deliciosa and Merluccius gayi were associated with winter and autumn.

New insights on the trophic ecology of blue (Prionace glauca) and shortfin mako sharks (Isurus oxyrinchus) from the oceanic eastern South Pacific

ABSTRACT The blue shark (Prionace glauca) and the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) are two large and highly migratory sharks distributed in most oceans. Although they are often caught in the south Pacific Ocean long-line fisheries, their trophic ecology is poorly understood. Stable isotopes with Bayesian mixing and dependence concentration models were performed to determine the diet and trophic differences between the two species in the South-eastern Pacific Ocean. According to the mixing models, fishes are the most important prey of these sharks. Dolphin calves and remains were found in the stomachs of both species, which represents a novel finding in trophic ecology of South Pacific sharks. Intra-specific differences were found in P. glauca, but not in specimens of I. oxyrinchus. The two sharks showed a high degree of diet overlap (73%), primarily over mackerel and dolphin carcasses. Our results indicate that blue and shortfin mako sharks have a generalist feeding strategy in the eastern Pacific Ocean, with a strong preference for teleost fishes and also for dolphin carcasses. Therefore, trophic studies are useful to understand energy flow through the food web, and the trophic position of key species.

IDENTIFICACION MORFOLOGICA DE LAS ALETAS DE LOS PRINCIPALES TIBURONES PELAGICOS COMERCIALIZADOS EN CHILE: AZULEJO (PRIONACE GLAUCA LINNAEUS), MARRAJO (ISURUS OXYRHINCHUS RAFINESQUE), Y TINTORERA (LAMNA NASUS BONNATERRE)

Sebastián Hernández; Pilar A. Haye; Enzo Acuña

La carencia de registros de desembarque especie-especificos ha producido dificultades en la evaluacion de stock de tiburones en Chile. Debido a que los registros son insuficientes para realizar evaluaciones pesqueras, es imperativo contar con caracteristicas fidedignas para la identificacion de las especies o partes de estas (como las aletas). El presente estudio describe caracteres morfologicos para la identificacion de las aletas de las tres especies mas importantes de tiburones pelagicos comercializados en Chile (P glauca, I. oxyrhinchusyL. nasus) y provee de claves dicotomicas para la identificacion de estas especies usando ya sea la aleta pectoral, la primera dorsal o la caudal. Los resultados revelaron que existen caracteres diagnosticos para identificar las aletas de cada una de estas especies. Ya que las especies estudiadas son las que mas se comercializan, las descripciones de las aletas y las claves taxonomicas por tipo de aleta desarrolladas en este estudio prometen ser de gran utilidad para los fiscalizadores, en particular aquellos que se enfrenten a los desembarques de sacos de aletas. Ademas, el poder conocer tanto la cantidad como la proporcion de especies comercializadas, es importante para futuras evaluaciones pesqueras y el establecimiento de planes de manejo especie-especificos.

First observations on captive hatching and incubation period of the yellow-nose skate Dipturus chilensis (Rajiformes: Rajidae), from the South-Eastern Pacific Ocean

Francisco Concha; Naití Morales; Sebastián Hernández

Twelve egg capsules laid in captivity by three females of Dipturus chilensis were incubated in the laboratory. After 252 ± 9.4 days, 10 skates successfully hatched, with a mean total length, disc length, and disc width of 17.2, 7.4, and 11.4 cm, respectively. This is the first report of captive hatching of D. chilensis and its corresponding incubation period.

¿ES POSIBLE CRIAR TIBURONES?: EL CASO DE LA PINTARROJA COMUN, SCHROEDERICHTHYS CHILENSIS (CHONDRICHTHYES, SCYLIORHINIDAE)

Nicole Piaget; Sebastián Hernández; Julio Lamilla; Alonso Vega

La crianza de animales es un fenomeno asociado a los origenes del hombre moderno. Sin embargo, la crianza de especies marinas esta relacionada con la produccion intensiva en cultivo con fines comerciales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar la factibilidad de crianza de Schroederichthys chilensis, la pintarroja comun, a traves de experiencias preliminares en ambiente controlado. Esta especie, endemica del Pacifico Sur-oriental, habita desde Peru (Ancon) hasta Chile Austral, preferentemente en aguas someras. Se colectaron capsulas con huevos de pintarroja del medio natural, los cuales fueron mantenidos en un laboratorio humedo. Despues de la eclosion, las pintarrojas fueron criadas en estanques de 200, 500 y 1000 L de agua de mar, con flujo de agua constante y temperatura ambiente. Las dimensiones de los estanques utilizados dependieron del numero y de la talla de los individuos. Durante el periodo de crianza en cautiverio las pintarrojas fueron alimentadas con una dieta humeda, basada en una mezcla de harina de pescado, camarones, jibia y carne de pescado fresco, enriquecida con vitaminas y minerales. Nuestros resultados preliminares sugieren que las pintarrojas pueden ser criadas en cautiverio. La crianza de S. chilensis en cautiverio es un precedente para el cultivo de tiburones, los cuales pueden ser dirigidos, entre otras areas y objetivos, a la investigacion, a la conservacion de poblaciones nativas y a la educacion ambiental
