Understanding the Unique Physiology of Elasmobranchs for Their Conservation

Explore the unique physiology of elasmobranchs and its implications for conservation in this 45-minute conference talk by Andrea Morash at the Society for Experimental Biology. Delve into the impacts of combined temperature and osmotic challenges on metabolic rate, behavior, and blood metabolites in neonate and juvenile school sharks. Examine the extreme and challenging environment of Macquarie Harbour and its effects on the Maugean Skate. Investigate elasmobranch responses to environmental hypoxia, including metabolic adaptations and the benefits of ketone bodies. Analyze the effects of acute hypoxia on ketone body metabolism and discuss potential biochemical markers in elasmobranchs. Gain insights into how understanding elasmobranch metabolism can contribute to their conservation efforts.
