Collection: Elasmobranchii
Elasmobranchii is a subclass of cartilaginous fish that includes sharks, rays and skates. Characterised by skeletons made of cartilage rather than bone, elasmobranchs have tough skin covered in tiny, tooth-like scales called dermal denticles. They typically have multiple gill slits, replaceable teeth and highly developed senses ~ especially for detecting movement and electrical signals in the water. These species play vital roles in marine ecosystems as top predators and bottom dwellers, helping to maintain ecological balance.
