Modelled distributions of ten demersal elasmobranchs of the eastern English Channel in relation to the environment

► GLMs and GIS were used to map the habitats of five skates, four sharks and a stingray. ► Predictors used included depth, sediment type, bed stress, temperature and salinity. ► Habitat maps highlighted contrasting habitat utilisation across elasmobranch species. ► Two species showed ontogenetic differences in habitat utilisation. ► Spatial segregation by sex was found for one species.
