Records of seven juveniles of the whale shark, Rhiniodon typus

Abstract

Seven juvenile whale sharks ranging from 550 to 930 mm in length are reported. Measurements of six are tabulated with remeasurements of the single known embryo. The mode of reproduction of this shark is again questioned, and the lack of records of sizes between 1 and almost 4 m is discussed. Copyright © 1983, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
