Resumen de Occurrence of a juvenile white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) in the southeastern Gulf of California, Mexico

J. Fernando Márquez Farías, Raúl E. Lara Mendoza

• español

  Records of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) sightings or captures from the southern Gulf of California have been poorly documented and anecdotal evidence is limited. Even rarer is the event of a juvenile in subtropical waters. In the present paper we report the capture of a juvenile female white shark taken in the lower Gulf of California, which represents an important contribution among the connectivity between individuals from California, United States and the Gulf of California, Mexico.
