Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"Ebert & Sulikowski have crafted an essential ichthyological reference and certainly set the stage for future studies into skates, which hopefully will be prompted by studying this volume. I enjoyed both reading this book and gaining deeper insights into the biology of skates. ... This is the most up to date collection of works on skates ... . a standard reference work for those interested in the biology of sharks, rays and skates in general and should be accessible in all life science libraries." (Jürgen Kriwet, Zoosystematics and Evolution, Vol. 86 (2), 2010)
