Rhizoprionodon acutus
Description
Rhizoprionodon acutus (Rüppell, 1837)
– Milk shark; Tubarão-bicudo ③
The species R. acutus is indicated as native to Madeira (Compagno 1984b), but its presence was not confirmed by any geographic records. Wirtz et al. (2008) considered it very doubtful for Madeira.
