  • Title: Identification of young-of-the-year great hammerhead shark Sphyrna mokarran in northern Florida and South Carolina.
    Author: Barker AM, Frazier BS, Bethea DM, Gold JR, Portnoy DS.
    Journal: J Fish Biol; 2017 Aug; 91(2):664-668. PubMed ID: 28653346.
    Abstract:
    Two sharks, visually identified in the field as young-of-the-year (YOY) scalloped hammerhead Sphyrna lewini, were identified as great hammerhead Sphyrna mokarran based on nuclear-encoded single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and sequences of mtDNA. Individuals were captured and released in Bulls Bay, SC, and Saint Joseph Bay, FL, in 2013 and 2014, respectively. These findings indicate S. mokarran may be pupping in or around these areas and highlight new regions that may be a productive focus for future research on early life history of S. mokarran.
