(except Whitehead et al. (1984) and Fischer et al. (1987).
I am preparing a MS about Carcharhinus brevipinna. I have some literatures regarding distribution in Mediterranean such as from Calabria region (south Italy) (Sperone et al., 2012), Gulf of Naples (Psomadakis et al., 2009), Gulf of Gabes (Tunisia) (Saidi et al., 2010), Sicily Channel/Tunisian Plateau region (UNEP-MAP-RAC/SPA, 2014), Libya (Schembri et al., 2003), Israeli coasts (Ben-Tuvia, 1978), Greek side of the Aegean Sea (Papaconstantinou, 1988, 2014; Koutsogiannopoulos, 2010). C. brevpinna have been caught outside of Maltese waters, especially in areas to the south where their presence was confirmed, e.g., near the Pelagian Islands (Schembri et al., 2003).
But I have no literature or information about when and where C. brevipinna found in the Mediterranean Sea.
Dear Halit:
The first formal record of the species was by Tortonese (1963: 158) (as Aprionodon brevipinna) in:
Tortonese, E. 1963. Elenco riveduto dei Leptocardi, Ciclostomi, pesci cartilaginei e ossei del mare mediterraneo. Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "Giacomo Doria", 74: 156-185.
This record was based on an earlier misidentification as Carcharhinus limbatus by Tortonese (1938: 158) in:
Tortonese, E. 1938. Uno squalo nuovo per il Mediterraneo. Natura, 29: 157-160.
Details of the case can be checked on p. 23-24 in:
Hureau, J.-C. & Monod, T. (eds.) 1973. Check-list of the fishes of the north-eastern Atlantic and of the Mediterranean. Vol. 1. UNESCO, Paris.
With best wishes,
Ron
Ronald Fricke Hallo Roland, hast Du zufällig ein pdf von Tortonese, E. 1938. Uno squalo nuovo per il Mediterraneo. Natura, 29: 157-160? Viele Grüße Jürgen
Hallo Jürgen:
Leider nicht, suche ich auch; die Arbeit scheint aber bei EBay verfügbar zu sein.
Viele Grüße,
Ronald
Ronald Fricke Alles klar, wenn ich sie auftreibe melde ich mich bei Dir. Viele Grüße Jürgen
