Carcharhinus longimanus (Poey, 1861). Oceanic Whitetip Shark . To at least 3.5 m (11.5 ft) TL (Weigmann 2016), and possibly to 3.95 m (13 ft) TL (Compagno 1984). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Ryukyu Islands (Yoshino and Aonuma in Nakabo 2002); unconfirmed reports from central California (Ebert 2003); perhaps Gaviota, southern California (Tim Herrlinger and Paul Krause, pers. comm. to M.L.), and Cortes Bank, southern California (Miller and Lea 1972), to Puerto Pizarro, Peru (Chirichigno 1974), including Gulf of California (Compagno et al. in Fischer et al. 1995), and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997).
