Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2026
Rays of the family Rhinopteridae Jordan & Evermann, 1896 are highly migratory and widely distributed in warm tropical and temperate waters. Along the Brazilian coast, the presence of two species has been recorded: Rhinoptera bonasus Mitchill, 1815 and Rhinoptera brasiliensis Müller, 1836. These stingrays are commonly caught as bycatch in trawl fisheries, however, the two species lack distinctive external morphological features that allow for reliable differentiation—species identification is primarily based on the shape and arrangement of teeth in the buccal plates. This study aimed to investigate the evolutionary history of the genus Rhinoptera and to explore which evolutionary drivers, such as biogeographic events or behavioral traits, have influenced its diversification. To achieve this, we analyzed both mitochondrial and nuclear genetic markers, focusing on the species occurring along the Brazilian coast. Specimens of both species were collected across various locations in Brazil, and additional sequences from other Rhinoptera species were obtained from GenBank. Our results reveal the presence of multiple cryptic species within Rhinoptera , particularly within R. bonasus , and likely in Rhinoptera steindachneri Evermann & Jenkins, 1891 and Rhinoptera javanica Müller & Henle, 1841. Notably, R. bonasus does not occur in Brazilian waters nor in parts of the Caribbean where a distinct cryptic sister lineage was identified. Based on our findings, we propose the resurrection of Rhinoptera lalandii Müller & Henle, 1841 as the species representing the lineage found along the Brazilian coast and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. We suggest that philopatric behavior may represent one of several factors potentially influencing diversification within Rhinopteridae, although this hypothesis requires direct behavioral and population level validation. These findings highlight the urgent need for a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the family, as well as a reassessment of current conservation strategies to better reflect the hidden diversity within this group of species.

Phylogeny of the Electric Rays of the Family Narcinidae (Gill, 1862): Systematic Review and Evidence of the Dispersal Routes to America
Luis Fernando da Silva Rodrigues‐Filho, Richard Klein Castro Silva, Eduardo Lopes de Lima, Raquel Sicca‐Ramirez, Getúlio Rincon, et al.
Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2026
The family Narcinidae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, its systematic composition and phylogenetic position within Torpediniformes remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the family Narcinidae and investigates its distribution patterns using molecular systematics. We analyzed mitochondrial COI sequences from specimens collected along the American coast, combined with publicly available data (GenBank/BOLD) and inferred evolutionary patterns through genetic distance analyses, haplotype network reconstruction and species delimitation methods. Our results demonstrate that electric rays originated in the Central Indo‐Pacific realm and reveal two dispersal routes to the American. The first route was from the Central Indo‐Pacific to the Pacific Ocean and then the Caribbean Sea, prior to the closure of the Isthmus of Panama. The second route originated in the Central Indo‐Pacific, passed through South Africa and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The principal torpediniformes lineages diversified between the end of the Cretaceous and the early Palaeocene, with extant narcinid taxa diversifying between 25 and 20 Mya. The present study confirms the nonmonophyly of Narcinidae and corroborates the validity of the genus Narcinops , as well as the restriction of Narcine to American coastal environments. Additionally, three Atlantic species are documented and cryptic lineages are identified within Narcine entemedor and Narcine maculata . These findings improve taxonomic resolution, reveal hidden diversity and provide essential baseline data to support conservation planning, including the identification of management units, prioritization of vulnerable populations and the implementation of more effective monitoring and protection measures for electric rays.
Beyond Hard Parts: Metabarcoding Advances Dietary Resolution in Threatened Amazonian Elasmobranchs

Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2026
Elasmobranchs are highly vulnerable and are considered one of the most threatened vertebrates worldwide. Insights into diet can improve conservation measures. The bias of traditional morphological methods towards taxa with distinctive hard parts makes metabarcoding analysis a complementary tool to assess diet composition. Here, we analysed the diet of three threatened elasmobranchs ( Carcharhinus oxyrhynchus , Pristis pristis and Pseudobatus percellens ) from the southern Amazon coastal region using specimens from bycatch with a multimarker metabarcoding approach targeting COXI , 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA. The COXI recovered the greatest variety of OTUs, whereas the 12S rRNA identified the highest number of fish OTUs and the 16S rRNA was less representative. For the analysed individuals, P. percellens exhibited a broad diet spanning shrimp, demersal fish and estuarine species, while P. pristis had only three fish species as prey and C. oxyrhynchus presented four prey OTUs, all associated with fish. Our results revealed clear dietary signals and were consistent with the expected capacity of each marker to recover different chordate and invertebrate groups. The studied stomach contents exhibited a predominantly piscivorous diet for the C. oxyrhynchus and P. pristis samples and a more generalist‐opportunistic diet for the P. percellens samples. Although based on few samples from a single region and limited reference databases, our analysis still provides meaningful dietary insights for these threatened species. Overall, our findings provide additional information on the diet of these endangered elasmobranchs in this biodiversity hotspot and highlight the importance of molecular analyses in dietary studies, improving the resolution of trophic relationships and disentangling the role of elasmobranchs in aquatic ecosystems.

Marine Biodiversity, 2026
A new species of Eudactylina (Siphonostomatoida: Eudactylinidae) was found parasitizing the gills of the longnose stingray Hypanus guttatus (Bloch & Schneider) from the Brazilian Amazon coast. Fieldwork was conducted at the Municipality of Raposa, State of Maranhão, Brazil, where specimens of H. guttatus were acquired from local fishermen. Copepods were recovered from the gill lamellae and fixed in 80% ethanol for morphological analysis. Detailed examination was performed using light and scanning electron microscopy. Eudactylina amazonica sp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by a unique combination of morphological features including intersomitic ornamentation, morphology of the rostrum and segmentation and armature of legs. The present study represents the first record of an eudactylinid copepod along the Brazilian coastline, and a novel report of H. guttatus as host of these parasites. In addition, a list of parasitic copepods on elasmobranchs in Brazil is presented, which documents how poorly sampled and understudied these highly diverse organisms are in the country. These results provide new data to the baseline knowledge of parasite biodiversity in a sensitive and biodiverse region, and highlight the need for further parasitological surveys on elasmobranchs in South America.

Boletim do Instituto De Pesca, 2026
Fisheries impact aquatic resources, with many species taken as bycatch, and thus represent a global threat to many species, in prticular, the elasmobranchs. Given the lack of reliable bycatch data, this study conducted a systematic review in four scientific databases to identify publications addressing elasmobranch bycatch along the Amazon coast. Between 2002 and 2022, 27 studies were published, docummenting the bycatch 28 sharks and 14 rays species. The literature search revealed an increase in the frequency of publication after 2015, with Brazil dominating the research output, while neighboring countries contributed limited data. Most studies involved trawling, while gillnet and longline fisheries were poorly represented. Worldwide, 78.0% of sharks and 57.0% of rays are classified as threatened. The review reveals persistent problems, including deficiencies in the identification, delays in data publication, and weak monitoring and enforcement. These findings emphasize the urgent need for improved research coverage, monitoring, and conservations actions.

Predation Strategies of the Portuguese Man-of-War Physalia physalis
Jorge L. S. Nunes, Diego S. Campos, Héllida Negrão Dias, Luiz P. N. e Silva, Denise M. R. F. Bastos, et al.
Marine Ecology, 2025
The Portuguese man‐of‐war Physalia physalis is widely known for causing poisoning on human beings. Physalia physalis is mostly described as a predator of fish eggs and larvae. Here, we report for the first time that large fish can also be preyed by P. physalis . We present two hypotheses for the hunting strategies used, that we denominate fishing and scanning. In both strategies, P. physalis makes use of the tentacles to either to attract or to hunt fishes in the water column and in the bottom. We suggest that these could be common and efficient foraging strategies of P. physalis .
