Despite its importance, some basic aspects of its biology remain unknown, turning its study a priority. The aim of the present research was to describe for the first time the reproductive biology of P. prahli based on the analysis of individuals landed in the port of Santa Rosa, Province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. A total of 96 females and 165 males were sampled from January 2013 to January 2014. Females presented larger sizes (51-86 cm total length, TL) than males (51-78 cm TL), but no significant differences were found between the mean sizes of both sexes. The sexual proportion of landed individuals (0.6F:1M) suggested that free-living individuals segregate by sex, however, sex proportion of embryos was similar to the proportion 1F:1M. The number of mature individuals (64%) in the landings was larger than the immature ones (36%). Mean size at maturity (L50) of females (65.9 cm TL) was also slightly larger than that for males (61.8 cm TL). Size at birth was estimated at 22.5 cm TL. Ovarian fecundity ranged from 1 to10 and uterine fecundity from 1 to 6, and a positive but low linear relationship was found between both fecundity estimates and maternal size. Based on the comparison of some reproductive parameters, such as mean size at maturity, gestation period and fecundity, it can be concluded that P. prahli is one of the species with lowest biological productivity among the species of the same genus.","PeriodicalId":347046,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130490105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The egg capsules were collected (241) stranded from Coquimbo Bay's intertidal zone in northern Chile (29°57’S; 71°18’W and 71°19’W), and examined predation marks and epibiosis of these egg capsules at different stages of development. About 32.8% of the egg capsules presented evidence of predation marks, of which 48.1% had not yet hatched. Based on our findings, the shape and size of predation marks were different from those reported in the literature. Additionally, 78% of the egg capsules presented epibiosis, of which 21% had not yet hatched. Non-hatched egg capsules with more advanced stages of development (i.e., possessing open respiratory fissures) showed a higher probability to be predated and present epibiosis than those with earlier development (closed respiratory fissures).

Their morphological similarity as well as the lack of type material of P. scobina, has made its taxonomic identification especially complex. The aim of this work is to allow for objective identification and comparisons of P. scobina, providing a new morphological characterization, incorporating both morphometric and meristic features for both sexes, and designating a Neotype. Morphometric and meristic data are presented separately for the Neotype, and for males and females to determine variability between sexes. Although there is overlap between some morphometric features of males and females, there are also some morphometric measures that differed between sexes among specimens of similar sizes, such as disc width, length of posterior pelvic lobe, preoral length, distance between fifth gill slits and distance from cloaca to second dorsal fin. Additionally, Principal Component Analysis and cluster analyses allowed to identify sexual dimorphism in specimens, with the most influential variables related to tail length. There are several unresolved issues regarding the taxonomy of this problematic genus, especially those regarding P. scobina and P. normani, which are sympatric in the southeastern Pacific. In addition to the analysis of skeletal structures and egg cases, an integrative comparative morphometric analysis, based on a recent standardized methodology with the inclusion of both morphological and molecular data, is still needed.
