Ovarian Folliculogenesis in the Smallnose Fanskate Sympterygia bonapartii (Müller & Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae)

Chondrichthyes have become an important economic resource in the last decades, with Argentina as one of the countries that exploits more sharks and skates, even at levels that exceed de limits of many species. However, there is a scarce knowledge of the reproductive biology of this group, particular...
