Carcharhinus leucas
(Müller & Henle, 1839)
.
Bull Shark
. To
3.5 m
(
11.5 ft
) TL (
Tyabji
et al.
2020
) or perhaps to
3.66 m
(
12 ft
) (
Weigmann 2016
). Circumglobal in warm waters; possibly southern California (Personal communication: California Academy of Sciences Fish Collection, San Francisco, California); western Pacific Ocean north to about
Okinawa
,
Japan
(Yoshino and Aonuma in
Nakabo 2002
);
Isla Guadalupe
, central Baja California (
Reyes-Bonilla
et al.
2010
), southern Baja California (
Eschmeyer and Herald 1983
) to Paita, Peru (
Chirichigno 1974
), including Gulf of California (Compagno
et al.
in
Fischer
et al.
1995
). Marine and fresh water; depth: surface (Allen and
Robertson 2015
),
1 m
(
3 ft
) or less to
164 m
(
538 ft
) (min.:
Ebert
et al.
, 2013
; max.:
Lea
et al.
2015
). A depth record of
500 m
(
1,640 ft
) (
Manilo and Bogorodsky 2003
) is considered unlikely (
Weigmann 2016
).
Naylor
et al.
(2012)
suggest that this may be a species complex.
