Introduction

The class chondrichthyes comprises the sharks, skates, rays, and chimera. Characteristically these fishes lack bone, instead possessing a partly calcified cartilaginous skeleton (Berkovitz and Shellis 2017), giving rise to the name cartilaginous fishes. There are currently in excess of 1200 extant chondrichthyan species globally (Marra et al. 2017). Their evolutionary history dates back to between 400 and 450 million years (Wilga et al. 2007), and they can be classified into Holocephali (chimeras) and Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), with further subdivisions into Selachii (sharks) and Batoidea (skates and rays) (Compagno et al. 2005). This class of fishes shows a diverse array of morphological, behavioral, and ecological adaptations. They are found globally in both marine and freshwater systems, and the range of their feeding strategies that have shown to be as diverse as the species themselves is of note.
