Fig. 5. Linear regressions of biochemical content on ultimate strength from seven species of elasmobranch. Ultimate strength of the shark vertebral cartilage was significantly correlated to water, mineral and collagen content (P<0.001) (A,C,D), but not proteoglycan content (B). Each point represents the material test and subsequent biochemical assay on a single vertebra.
