Contraception within an elasmobranch captive breeding programme: a case report on the eagle ray Aetobatus ocellatus using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist deslorelin (Suprelorin).
This study describes the first case of contraception within a captive elasmobranch breeding programme where an implant of Suprelorin, containing a long-acting gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue Deslorelin, was implanted in an eagle ray Aetobatus ocellatus, which successfully halted breeding.
