SUMMARY

SUMMARY

IDENTIFICATION

SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)

Carcharhinus falciformis

SPECIES NAME(s)

Silky shark

Genetic analysis suggests that silky sharks in the eastern Pacific Ocean should be assessed and managed seperately from the western Pacific population. There is some evidence to suggest a northern and southern population in the Pacific Ocean but this is still uncertain (Aires-da-Silva et al. 2015).
