The shark genus Carcharhinus Blainville, 1816 (Chondrichthyes : Carcharhinidae) in Argentine waters

Gustavo E. Chiaramonte

Marine and Freshwater Research 49(7) 747 - 752

Abstract

The purpose of this contribution is to review the species of the shark genus Carcharhinus found along the coast of Argentina. New southern limits for the distribution of the genus are given for the western South Atlantic. The presence of Carcharhinus leucas (Valenciennes, 1839) is recorded for the first time on the Province of Buenos Aires coast. New evidence is given which confirms the presence of Carcharhinus brachyurus(GÜnther, 1870) in the area. Carcharhinus plumbeus (Nardo, 1827) is known from only a single Argentine record. Carcharhinus longimanus (Poey, 1861) has been recorded from oceanic waters offshore of Argentina, but has not been taken from continental shelf waters.

Resumen. En éste trabajo se revisan las especies de tiburones del género Carcharhinus encontradas en la costa de la Argentina. Nuevos límites septentrionales para la distribución de las especies del género en el Atlántico Sudoccidental son presentados. Se refiere por primera vez la presencia de Carcharhinus leucas (Valenciennes, 1839) para la costa de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Se presenta nueva evidencia que confirma la presencia de Carcharhinus brachyurus (GÜnther, 1870) en el área. Carcharhinus plumbeus (Nardo, 1827) ha sido citado una sóla vez para Argentina. Carcharhinus longimanus (Poey, 1861) ha sido registrado en aguas oceánicas frente a la plataforma de Argentina, pero no en aguas sobre la plataforma continental.
