AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Illegal trade of fishes is common and has been in practice since ages for the support of livelihood and as dietary supplements. However, several species are protected in the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 of India and their trade is restricted under CITES. In this article, we report trade of Sharpnose guitarfish ( for the ethnomedicinal remedy, identified using DNA barcoding in the Keylong district of Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh. This study provides the first DNA barcode of Sharpnose guitarfish. In order to handle wildlife offense cases we emphasize that a large reference database for other fishes in trade is needed.

Total mercury (THg) concentrations were measured in muscle and liver of two placental viviparous sharks, the Pacific sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon longurio) and the brown smooth-hound (Mustelus henlei); as well as in the muscle, liver, and yolk of the yolk-sac viviparous speckled guitarfish (Pseudobatos glaucostigmus) in Baja California Sur. The aim was to determine which factors could be involved in maternal transfer and resultant maternal and embryonic THg concentration. Higher THg concentrations were found in pregnant females compared to embryos paired tissues.

Nitrogen stable isotopes ratios (δ N) were determined for selected tissues (muscle, liver, blood and yolk) of pregnant females and their embryos of a placental viviparous species, the Pacific sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon longurio), and a yolk-sac viviparous species, the speckled guitarfish (Pseudobatos glaucostigmus). The R. longurio embryo tissues were N enriched compared to the same tissues in the pregnant female, using the difference in δ N (Δδ N) between embryo and adult.
