First record of Sphyrna gilberti Quattro et al., 2013, on the coast of Campeche, México

Abstract

Sphyrna gilberti is a large hammerhead shark described off South Carolina and data distribution on other regions of the Western Atlantic are unknown. An adult male with a total length of 240 cm was collected in 2021 on Campeche, Southwestern Gulf of México. The precaudal vertebral count of the examined individual was 89, and a large head and a robust caudal peduncle were observed. This study documents the first record of S. gilberti in Mexican waters.

Thanks

We thank the fishermen of the coast of Campeche for their trust in having given us the photographic and jaw samples, so this work will have an extension in the future, mainly to Cruz Manuel Cáceres Arellano and Guillermo Izquierdo (filleters) as the personnel who carried out the process of the specimen that allowed to obtain the data referring to the vertebral count and dental formula.
