This volume presents a fully illustrated field guide for the identification of the sharks and rays most relevant to the fisheries of the Mediterranean and Black Sea. An extensive literature review was carried out for the preparation of this document. A total of 49 sharks, 34 batoids and 1 chimaera are fully treated. The presence of 5 sharks and 2 batoids included in this field guide, need, however, to be confirmed. The guide includes sections on technical terms and measurements for sharks and batoids, and fully illustrated keys to those orders and families that occur in the region. Each species account includes: at least one annotated illustration of the species highlighting its relevant identification characters; basic information on nomenclature, synonyms and possible misidentifications; FAO common names; basic information on size, habitat and biology, distribution, importance to fisheries, and conservation and exploitation status.
I’m a woman of wounds Who’s felt too much too soon. Been lonely for a hundred years, Cried a couple oceans of tears. ––Selena Raja Our sensitive tears would flow down our cheeks, Like leaves falling off an autumn tree. They would continue to fall until they hit the cold concrete, Leaving a pool of tears beneath our feet. ––Serena Raja Even twins have different experiences in life and perspectives about those experiences. In a debut collection of poetry, Serena and Selena Raja share verse penned individually over the course of seven years that explore numerous hardships in life that include mental illness and war. With the desire to provide hope and comfort to others that they are not alone in the struggles they face and that with every hardship there is relief, Serena and Selena reflect on depression, fake friends, regret, tragedy, and much more in a compilation inspired by their passion to raise awareness for mental health and the horrors that civilians face in war-torn countries. Women of Wounds shares diverse poems and original illustrations created by twin sisters who offer unique perspectives on their lives and the world around them.
This guide contains the illustrated key to orders, families, genera and species to the Chondrichthyes of the Mediterranean and Black Seas (FAO fishing area 37), currently represented by 38 sharks, 48 batoids and 2 chimaeras. The species are described following the taxonomic order and are grouped in functional groups. Near the illustration of each species, the relevant diagnostic features are complemented by a set of icons representing the management measures and the data collection requirements as per existing GFCM recommendations. The technical terms and the minimum standard measurements are provided as annexes.
The book provides for the first time an overview of the latest scientific studies conducted on micro and nano plastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea both from the biological and environmental point of view as well as from the chemical point of view in order to have a more real idea of the current situation.
