Abstract

Wild populations of cartilaginous fish (sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras) are encountering challenges. Here, we are unveiling genomic data and behavioral ecological records of Okamejei kenojei, a species listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, aiming to offer insights into the conservation and environmental adaptability of cartilaginous fish.
