Abstract in brief

  • Uterine milk in elasmobranchs, such as red stingrays, serves as an important nutritional source for embryos, promoting rapid growth during gestation.
  • The study analyzed the milk's composition across early, middle, and late gestational periods, finding that it is rich in proteins and varies in lipid content.
  • Key proteins and enzymes linked to nutrition, cartilage growth, and embryonic immunity were identified, suggesting uterine milk plays a vital role alongside egg yolk in supporting healthy embryonic development.
