Issue
Questionably a synonym of Carcharias taurus (Ref. 35766, 43278). Questionably a synonym of Carcharias taurus Rafinesque 1810 (Compagno 2001:58; Ref. 43278). Probably a junior synonym of Carcharias taurus, thus, regarded as a doubtfu

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.8125   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00267 - 0.01964), b=2.99 (2.77 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  4.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Mycket låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mer än 14 år (Fec assumed to be <10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
