Endangered and Threatened Wildlife: 90-Day Finding on a Petition to List the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark Under the Endangered Species Act

View Comment

I am providing two pieces of scientific information pertaining to Sphyrna lewini that directly relate to this Petition: 1. Our recent publication on mitochondrial stock structure of Sphyrna lewini in the western Atlantic (PDF uploaded). 2. A note to mention that a cryptic hammerhead species resembling and sympatric with Sphyra lewini in the western north Atlantic also occurs in the western South Atlantic. A manuscript reporting this finding is currently in review in the journal Marine Biology.
