Ginglymostoma unami Del Moral-Flores, Ramirez-Antonio, Angulo, & Perez-Ponce
Description
* Ginglymostoma unami Del Moral-Flores, Ramírez-Antonio, Angulo, & Pérez-Ponce de León, 2015.
Pacific Nurse Shark. To at least 208 cm (81.9 in) (Del Moral-Flores et al. 2015). Southernmost Baja California into Gulf of California (Moral-Flores et al. 2015), to Máncora, Peru (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998). Depth: intertidal to at least 55 m (180 ft) (min.: Personal communication: California Academy of Sciences Fish Collection, San Francisco, California; max.: Del Moral-Flores et al. 2015). Previously assigned to Ginglymostoma cirratum (Bonnaterre, 1788), a species now apparently limited to the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea (Ebert et al. 2013, Del Moral-Flores et al. 2015). Confusion with Ginglymostoma cirratum makes assignment of maximum depth problematic.
