Lamna
''Lamna'' is a genus of Lamniformes, mackerel sharks in the family Lamnidae, containing two extant species: the porbeagle (''L. nasus'') of the North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere, and the salmon shark (''L. ditropis'') of the North Pacific.

Lamna Nasus
The porbeagle (''Lamna nasus'') is a species of mackerel shark in the family Lamnidae, distributed widely in the cold and temperate marine waters of the North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere. In the North Pacific, its ecological equivalent is the closely related salmon shark (''L. ditropis''). It typically reaches in length and a weight of ; North Atlantic sharks grow larger than Southern Hemisphere sharks and differ in coloration and aspects of life history. Gray above and white below, the porbeagle has a very stout midsection that tapers towards the long, pointed snout and the narrow base of the tail. It has large pectoral and first dorsal fins, tiny pelvic, second dorsal, and anal fins, and a crescent-shaped caudal fin. The most distinctive features of this species are its three-cusped teeth, the white blotch at the aft base of its first dorsal fin, and the two pairs of lateral keels on its tail. The porbeagle is an opportunistic hunter that preys mainly on bony fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lamna Ditropis
The salmon shark (''Lamna ditropis'') is a species of mackerel shark found in the northern Pacific ocean. As an apex predator, the salmon shark feeds on salmon, squid, sablefish, and herring. It is known for its ability to maintain stomach temperature (homeothermy), which is unusual among fish. This shark has not been demonstrated to maintain a constant body temperature. It is also known for an unexplained variability in the sex ratio between eastern and western populations in the northern Pacific. Description Adult salmon sharks are medium grey to black over most of the body, with a white underside with darker blotches. Juveniles are similar in appearance, but generally lack blotches. The snout is short and cone-shaped, and the overall appearance is similar to a small great white shark. The eyes are positioned well forward, enabling binocular vision to accurately locate prey. The salmon shark generally grows to between 200 and 260 cm (6.6–8.6 ft) in length and w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
