Description
Sphyrna tiburo (Linnaeus, 1758).
Bonnethead or Bonnethead Shark. To about 1.5 m (46 in) TL (Compagno in Carpenter 2003); possibly to 1.8 m (6 ft) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Formerly San Diego, southern California (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) to Paita, Peru (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998); western Atlantic (Compagno 1984). Last documented specimen north of Colombia was captured in Mexico in 2006 (Pérez-Jiménez 2014). Rare from Colombia to Peru (Pollom et al. 2020g). Depth: intertidal to 90 m (295 ft) (Weigmann 2016). Spyrna tiburo is probably a species complex (Fields et al. 2016).
