Description
Alopiidae (Thresher sharks)
No confirmed Gulf records. Goubanov & Shleib (1980) reported thresher shark Alopias vulpinus (Bonnaterre, 1788) as “very seldom seen in the Gulf, only in its southern areas”, although Randall (1996) regarded this as doubtful. Bigeye thresher A. superciliosus (Lowe, 1841) was regarded by Compagno et al. (2005) as possibly occurring in the Gulf, and both this species and the pelagic thresher A. pelagicus Nakamura, 1935 are known from Oman (Henderson et al. 2007).
