Carcharhinus falciformis
Description
Carcharhinus falciformis (Müller & Henle, 1839)
– Silky shark; Tubarão-luzidio ①, ②③
The occurrence of this species off Madeira needs confirmation (Wirtz et al. 2008). Ebert & Stehmann (2013) indicated its presence off Madeira, based on known geographical distribution. Arruda (1997) considered the presence of C. falciformis off the Azores doubtful
