Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes( genus , species ) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) > Carcharhiniformes (Ground sharks) > Carcharhinidae (Requiem sharks) Etymology: Rhizoprionodon: rhiza (Gr.), root; prion (Gr.) saw; odon (Gr.), tooth, referring to teeth with serrated (saw-like) bases, or roots [replacement name for Rhizoprion Ogilby 1915, preoccupied by Rhizoprion Jourdan 1861 in mammals]. ( See ETYFish ) ;   porosus: Latin for pored or full of holes, referring to enlarged hyomandibular pores on both sides of head. ( See ETYFish ) . More on author: Poey . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; freshwater; brackish; reef-associated; depth range ? - 500 m (Ref. 244 ), usually ? - 100 m (Ref. 244 ). Tropical; 28°N - 40°S, 88°W - 32°W (Ref. 55194 ) Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Western Atlantic: Caribbean, including the Bahamas, south to Uruguay. The separation of this species from Rhizoprionodon terraenovae whether as a distinct species or a representative of a southern subspecies is still uncertain and pending until detailed studies are commenced.
