Sphyrna
the sole genus of the family Sphyrnidae (hammer-head sharks). The head is hammer-shaped, with eyes located on the end of its large lateral extensions. The body is up to 6 m long and weighs up to 450 kg. There are nine species of hammerheads, distributed in the warm waters of all oceans. The smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena) enters moderately Warm seas in the summer and has been observed near the shores of the Primor’e. Hammerheads are viviparous, bearing as many as 40 young. They feed mainly on benthic fishes and invertebrates. Large hammerheads are harmful to man. The sharks are of minor commercial value. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
