Teratological records in blue shark Prionace glauca embryos from the South-western Atlantic Ocean
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 February 2023
Abstract
Abnormal embryonic development may result from mutations caused by genetics, environmental conditions or viruses. This study reports cases of cyclopia and a mouth malformation in two embryonic blue shark Prionace glauca collected off southern Brazil (South-western Atlantic). Such malformations are likely to reduce the chances of survival of embryos and neonates.
