	Caribbean Reef Shark, Carcharhinus perezi at MarineBio.org
		The Caribbean reef shark, Carcharhinus perezi (Poey, 1876), aka reef shark, are dark gray to gray-brown on the dorsal side, and white to light yellow on the ventral side.
		Caribbean reef sharks are also morphologically and ecologically very similar to the gray reef shark, which is found only in the Indo-Pacific region.
		The Caribbean reef shark, Carcharhinus perezi, is found in tropical waters of North, Central, and South America and is particularly abundant in the Caribbean.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Carcharhinus sealei
		Carcharhinus sealei is likely to be caught in relatively large quantities by artisanal fisheries and small scale commercial fisheries within its range, particularly in South East Asia, since it is most commonly found in shallow waters where such fishing activities are intensive.
		Carcharhinus sealei is a coastal shark on the continental and insular shelves from the surf line to depths of 40 m, but usually in shallow water, not adjacent to river mouths (Compagno and Niem 1998).
		Carcharhinus sealei is a common catch in artisanal fisheries and smallscale commercial fisheries, as well as by recreational anglers (Compagno and Niem 1998).

		Adult dusky sharks are often seen offshore and commonly follow ships.This shark is strongly migratory in temperate and subtropical areas in the Eastern North Pacific and Western North Atlantic, moving north during the warmer months of summer and retreating south when the water cools.
		Young dusky sharks are readily preyed on by other big sharks, including sandtiger (Carcharias), great white (Carcharodon), bull (Carcharhinus leucas), and tiger (Galeocerdo) sharks, which help to regulate the population size of this species.

	The Oceanic Whitetip
		Biology and Behaviour of the Oceanic Whitetip (Carcharhinus longimanus = [maou])
		While many members of the family Carcharhinidae (to which the genus Carcharhinus belongs, along with about 11 other similar-looking genera) appear very similar to each other, this stocky shark stands out, primarily because of its fins.
		In the case of the silky shark, whitetips are less agile and speedy, so if the food item drifts away from the whitetip, the silky shark may use its nimbleness to snatch the food and make a quick getaway (Compagno, 1984).

	Mediterranean Sharks: Carcharhinidae (Site not responding. Last check: )
		THERE are presently nine carcharhinid species reported from Mediterranean waters, of which by far the most abundant being the blue shark Prionace glauca in offshore pelagic fisheries and sandbar shark Carcharhinus plumbeus typically represented in coastal fisheries, especially those of the southern-central Mediterranean, North Africa and Levant.
		Others, primarily the spinner shark Carcharhinus brevipinna and (rather less frequently) the fltip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus, may be encountered increasingly as one moves from Sicily and Tunisia south-easterly through the region's warmer zones towards Egypt and up towards Lebanon and the Aegean.
		The same argument equally applies to the wide-ranging, epipelagic oceanic whitetip shark Carcharhinus longimanus which - albeit known from eastern North Atlantic waters adjunct to the Mediterranean at Gibraltar - is yet to be reliably confirmed in the Mediterranean fauna.

	Shark Ecomorphotypes
		Young Silky Sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) remain over continental margins, but adults of this species range far into the open ocean and well away from land.
		Members of this ecomorphotype are very poorly known taxonomically and biologically, particularly how they adapt to the osmotic stresses imposed by their freshwater haunts or even whether or not they breed in fresh water.
		It is presumed that - like freshwater-adapted Bull Sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) - the Ganges River Shark (Glyphis gangeticus) and other spear-toothed sharks of the genus Glyphis feature body fluids with greatly reduced urea, sodium and chlorine ion concentrations, but this remains to be tested experimentally.
