Abstract
Intersexual differences in morphometrics were investigated in five species of the catshark genus Scyliorhinus. ANCOVA was used to test 59 measurements, considering capture location and total length as covariates. In all examined species, pelvic-anal distances and pelvic-fin inner margin lengths were greater in males than in females, representing a clear pattern for the genus. (AU)
