Tuna keels aren't just for hydrodynamics—they're mechanosensory! 🐟 They contain a modified lateral line, possibly adapted to detect stimuli in high-noise environments

[James Cook Uni @jcu]

A new global study of sharks, rays and chimaeras (closely related to sharks) has shown overfishing is driving most species to extinction as demand for their meat rapidly increases – but Australia is currently bucking the trend.

@sarilog This is not a “review” & not from a qualified reviewer. Surprised the editor sent it- makes one question the editorial skillset & maybe the journal. Worth a message to the editor (maybe after your manuscript is accepted/published). Good that you did receive 2 constructive reviews
