The epithelium of vertebrates is a complex tissue that houses a large variety of cells with different functions. One of its most important functions is protection and in many cases this function is achieved by exuding copious amounts of mucous that fight off diseases, harmful toxins and overall protect the species from external invaders. Mucous, made of mucin, is produced by specialized epithelial cells called goblet cells. Among vertebrates’, fishes are perhaps one of the major groups known to produce mucous, particularly stingrays. The Atlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina is one of the few cartilaginous fishes known to inhabit both freshwater …

Diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) currently face population loss along their broad coastal North American range, spanning from Massachusetts down to Texas. This species is suggested to be an important indicator of environmental change within the limited brackish water habitat along the coastlines. Terrapin mortality predominantly stems from human activities, such as commercial and recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) trapping. Once caught in one of many crab pots littered throughout their aquatic habitat, terrapins can easily drown in several hours upon capture. In reviewing published research, the use of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) have been shown to reduce the number of …
