Carcharhinus brachyurus (Günther, 1870). Copper Shark or Narrowtooth Shark . To 3.25 m (10.7 ft) TL (Randall et al. 1990). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to central Japan (Yoshino and Aonuma in Nakabo 2002); Santa Cruz Island, southern California (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to central Mexico (Allen and Robertson 2015); Colombia to Peru (Allen and Robertson 2015), including Gulf of California and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Depth: intertidal to 360 m (1,181 ft) (Compagno in Carpenter 2003). Naylor et al. (2012) suggest that C. brachyurus may be comprised of several species; one from the Indo-Pacific and perhaps another from the Atlantic and southern Africa region. : Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 17, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Randall, J., Allen, G.
