Finetooth shark
Carcharhinus isodon (Valenciennes) 1839



Description: The fine tooth shark has a snout shorter than the width of the mouth and a first dorsal fin originating over the free tips of the pectoral fin. The teethe have slender, erect, smooth-edged cusps and broad bases; they number U 13 to 15- 1 - 13 to 15, L 13 to 15-1 to 13 to 15, and are similar in both jaws. Color is bluish gray or bronze above and white below; the fins are un-marked. Average size is 59” and 31 lbs. The largest ever reported is 74”.

Similar species: The blacktip shark has finely serrated teeth and black-tipped fins. The spinner shark has upper teeth with finely serrated bases and black-tipped fins.

Range: The fine tooth shark inhabits the Atlantic coast of North America from New York to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. It is common of South Carolina in late summer.

Biology: This is a coastal species that inhabits shallow waters 2 - 3 fathoms or less and feeds on small fishes. Gill net catches suggest schooling behaviors.

Reproduction: Development is viviparous. Males reach maturity at about 47” and females at about 55”. Litters consist of 1 - 6 pups which measure about 19” at birth.

Table Fare: The fine tooth is right in line with the Blacktip as being edible.

Fishing: These sharks are taken occasionally in the northern Gulf water on rod and reel. They are regularly mistaken as other species ( blacktip, spinner, blacknose ) since they are not a regular catch from our beach.
