“…In this paper, we recognize that Mustelus walkeri is invalid and is part of the taxonomic concept of Gummy Shark Mustelus antarcticus Gü nther 1870. 85 Second, Amblyraja badia and Amblyraja robertsi are currently on the IUCN Red List but are junior synonyms of Arctic Skate A. hyperborea (Collett 1879). 86 Third, the Zanzibar Guitarfish (Acroteriobatus zanzibarensis) is currently on the IUCN Red List, but the validity of this species is under review.…”

The longnose houndshark, Iago garricki Fourmanoir & Rivaton 1979, was described based on five specimens collected from Vanuatu. Five additional specimens were recently collected from the waters off Dongsha Atoll, South China Sea. A redescription of this species is provided based on the holotype, non-types collected near the type locality and off Dongsha Atoll. The species is characterized by eye length larger than gill slit height; first dorsal-fin origin not reaching a vertical line through pectoral-fin base; head length 20.2–22.2% TL; preoral length 7.2–8.3% TL; upper labial furrow 2.2–3.4% TL; lateral teeth with 1–3 small cusplets on lateral side basally; diplospondylous centra 53–61; precaudal centra 94–102; and total centra 149–157. The specimens collected from the South China Sea represent the northernmost distributional record of this species.

“…Mustelus species, like M. andamanensis, M. norrisi and M. albipinnis, can have the white on the fins even adults (Heemstra, 1997;Castro-Aguirre et al, 2005;White et al, 2021). Indeed, the observation of I. omanensis individuals presenting a peculiar white edge on the fins opens the door to various possibilities, like an intra-specific color variation, a possible shift in color markings with age, or the hypothesis of the presence of a not yet identified species or subspecies of Iago in the Eastern Red Sea, co-existing with the one already reported in the literature, as it happens for Mustelus canis canis and Mustelus canis insularis (Heemstra, 1997).…”

Understanding the vertical distribution of elasmobranch species and associated ecological dynamics can be a crucial component of developing effective conservation strategies, particularly in light of their global population decline. Previous studies have primarily focused on horizontal extent and movement patterns of elasmobranchs, with limited knowledge about their vertical distribution. This knowledge gap stems from limited access to technological advancements and reliance on surface data from fisheries operations. Today, advancements in observing platforms such as electronic tracking, remotely operated vehicles and submersibles, and reductions in costs for drop cameras and BRUVs, allow for direct observation of animals at great depths, facilitating improved understanding of their ecological and trophic niches. This study reports new global depth records for three elasmobranch species observed in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea (Carcharhinus altimus, Rhinobatos punctifer, Iago omanensis), also presenting ethological evidence on Iago omanensis feeding behavior. Our findings have significant implications for conservation strategies and the development of targeted conservation measures. The provisioning of data on new depth ranges allows places like NEOM to better manage and protect deep sea habitats, due to the presence of species occurring at those depths.
