OCCURRENCE OF THE FINETOOTH SHARK, 

 CARCHARHISLS ISODO^\ OFF 

 DAUPHIN ISLAND, ALABAMA' 



Carcharhinus isodon (Valenciennes) is an in- 

 frequently encountered species with a poorly 

 known life history. The literature on this species 

 covering the western North Atlantic contains 

 much information on juveniles, but very little on 

 adults. All lengths discussed herein are total 

 lengths. 



Radcliffe (1916) reported a single specimen 

 50.8 cm in the Bureau of Fisheries collection at 

 Beaufort, N.C. Burton's (1940) record of an im- 

 mature male, 74.4 cm, was the first from South 

 Carolina waters. Specimens examined by 

 Bigelow and Schroeder (1948:304-308) ranged 

 from 46 to 56.7 cm. Springer (1950) examined 20 

 adult females 147-155 cm collected in December 

 off Salerno, Fla. Thirteen had from one to six em- 

 bryos 43-48 cm; the remaining seven had en- 

 larged flaccid uteri and medium-sized ovarian
