Galeocerdo cuvier (Péron & Lesueur)

( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 )

A tissue sample was taken from each of two frozen immature specimens of Galeocerdo cuvier (SL-113 and SL- 118) collected in 2017 from the Valaichchenai fisheries harbor in the Eastern Province. These specimens have now been deposited in the BRT Ichthyology Collection (SL-113, BRT-I 0004; SL-118, BRT-I 0005). These specimens were identical in NADH2 sequence and grouped most closely with our reference specimen of this species (BJ-382; JQ519164 View Materials ) from the Gulf of California in the tree resulting from the Neighbor-Joining analysis; they differed from the latter specimen by 2 bp.

This is the name currently applied to this species in Sri Lanka (e.g., De Silva 1984 –1985, 2006, 2015; De Bruin et al. 1995; Morón et al. 1998; Joseph 1999).
