Lista patr?n de los tiburones, rayas y quimeras (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii, Holocephali) de M?xico

An annotated checklist of the species of sharks, rays and chimaeras (chondrichthyan fishes) occurring in Mexican waters is presented, based on a thorough review of the literature and electronic database searches, examination of museum collection specimens, and unpublished records obtained during fieldwork conducted in the last four years. The checklist contains information of at least 214 species of chondrichthyan fishes that ocur in Mexican marine and brackish waters, assigned to 84 genera, 40 families and 14 orders. It includes eight species of chimaeras, 95 of batoids and 111 of sharks. Mexican?s chondrichthyan fauna is one of the richest in the world, with almost 17.3% of the known species. Additionally, 16 species are included, as their occurrence in Mexican marine waters is probable according with distributional patterns.

本研究基于文献全面梳理、电子数据库检索、博物馆馆藏标本检视，以及近四年野外工作中获取的未公开记录，编制了墨西哥海域分布的鲨类、鳐类及银鲛类（软骨鱼类）的注释名录。该名录涵盖至少214种分布于墨西哥海洋及咸淡水水域的软骨鱼类，隶属于14目、40科、84属，其中包含8种银鲛、95种鳐类与111种鲨类。墨西哥软骨鱼类区系为全球物种丰富度最高的区系之一，已知物种占比近17.3%。此外，本名录还纳入了16种依据分布模式推测可能在墨西哥海域出现的物种。
