"Successor to the classic work in shark studies, The Elasmobranch Fishes by John Franklin Daniel (first published 1922, revised 1928 and 1934), Sharks, Skates, and Rays provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of elasmobranch morphology. Coverage has been expanded from anatomy to include modern information on physiology and biochemistry. The new volume also provides equal treatment for skates and rays.

The authors present general introductory material for the relative novice but also review the latest technical citations, making the book a valuable primary reference resource. More than 200 illustrations supplement the text."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

"The class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) is a major group of aquatic, gill-breathing, finned, fishlike jawed (gnathostome) vertebrates that includes the living elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) and the living holocephalans (chimaeras and elephant fishes), plus numerous extinct taxa extending back through more than 400 million years of geologic time."
