They may be small, but they play a big role in maintaining a healthy ocean.

Happy to share some more #sharkscience from my #PhD, recently published in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.

We used smallspotted #catsharks (n = 49) as a model species for Northeast Atlantic elasmobranchs to demonstrate regional applicability of LA-ICP-MS to investigate habitat use.

🐟🌊Did you know #Catsharks are laying eggs on plastic? In our article for Shark News, we explore whether this is an adaptation or a warning of conservation crisis🦈

Completamente recomendado echarle un vistazo a todo el documento, pero sobre todo a la sección dedicada a España, tanto la parte atlántica como mediterránea 🦈👇

¡Y también enhorabuena a todas las personas de #Catsharks por haber aportado sus granitos de arena! 🦈👏

Small spotted #catsharks (Scyliorhinus canicula) will always find something to allow them to anchor an eggcase!
This was literally the only vertical growth in the vicinity of the seabed, it made for a beautiful snap!
