Corrigendum on: Buschmann J, Roques KG, Davies JS, Dissanayake A and Keeping JA (2024) Novel approach to studying marine fauna: using long-life remote underwater video cameras to assess occurrence and behaviour of threatened and data-deficient elasmobranch species in southern Mozambique. Front. Mar. Sci. 11:1518710. doi: 10.3389/fmars.2024.1518710 In the published article, there was an error in species identification for Aetobatus narinari (corrected to Aetobatus ocellatus) and for Rhynchobatus laevis (corrected to Rhynchobatus djiddensis).A correction for Aetobatus narinari to Aetobatus ocellatus has been made to the following sections: A correction for Rhynchobatus laevis to Rhynchobatus djiddensis / smoothnose wedgefish to whitespotted wedgefish has been made to the following sections:• o This sentence previously stated: "Rhynchobatus laevis" o The corrected sentence states: "Rhynchobatus djiddensis" • Section 3.1 Data Summary o This sentence previously stated: "These were reef manta rays (n = 63), smalleye stingrays (n = 58), oceanic manta rays (n = 40), spotted eagle rays (n = 30), blotched fantail rays (n = 20), fevers of shortfin devil rays (n = 4, total of 15 individuals), bowmouth guitarfish (n = 10), blacktip sharks (n = 19), Jenkins whiprays (n = 5), pink whiprays (n = 1), scalloped hammerhead sharks (n = 1), grey reef sharks (n = 1), whale sharks (n = 1) and smoothnose wedgefish (n = 1)."PAGE \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT 3o The corrected sentence states: "These were reef manta rays (n = 63), smalleye stingrays (n = 58), oceanic manta rays (n = 40), spotted eagle rays (n = 30), blotched fantail rays (n = 20), fevers of shortfin devil rays (n = 4, total of 15 individuals), bowmouth guitarfish (n = 10), blacktip sharks (n = 19), Jenkins whiprays (n = 5), pink whiprays (n = 1), scalloped hammerhead sharks (n = 1), grey reef sharks (n = 1), whale sharks (n = 1) and whitespotted wedgefish (n = 1)." • Section 4.1 Elasmobranch Sightings o This sentence previously stated: "Pink whiprays, grey reef sharks, whale sharks and smoothnose wedgefish were only observed once." o The corrected sentence states: "Pink whiprays, grey reef sharks, whale sharks and whitespotted wedgefish were only observed once"The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
