Description

Carcharhinus brachyurus (Günther, 1870).

Copper Shark or Narrowtooth Shark. To 3.25 m (10.7 ft) TL (Randall et al. 1990). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to central Japan (Yoshino and Aonuma in Nakabo 2002); Santa Cruz Island, southern California (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to central Mexico (Allen and Robertson 2015); Colombia to Peru (Allen and Robertson 2015), including Gulf of California and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Depth: intertidal to 360 m (1,181 ft) (Compagno in Carpenter 2003). Naylor et al. (2012) suggest that C. brachyurus may be comprised of several species; one from the Indo-Pacific and perhaps another from the Atlantic and southern Africa region.
