%X The bignose shark (Carcharhinus altimus) has been described in the literature as a deep-benthic species. Evidence is presented that C. altimus is a diurnal vertical migrator. It occurs near the bottom in about 90-500 m by day. At night, at least some individuals move into shallower water or up into the pelagic zone.
