Artificial insemination and parthenogenesis in the whitespotted bamboo shark Chiloscyllium plagiosum

Abstract Non-lethal methods for semen collection from elasmobranchs to better understand species reproduction has accompanied the development of artificial insemination. Ejaculates (n = 82) collected from whitespotted bamboo sharks Chiloscyllium plagiosum (n = 19) were assessed and cold-stored raw o...
