Histological Remarks of the Uterus of Sympterygia acuta (Garman, 1877) and Sympterygia bonapartii (Müller & Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes; Rajidae)
Chondrichthyes constitute a conserve and vulnerable clade of increasing importance. However, there is scarce knowledge about the morphological aspects of the reproduction, so that only one work exists about the structure of the gravid uterus of an oviparous species. The work presented here describes...
