Embryos of the Whale Shark, Rhincodon typus: Early Growth and Size Distribution
Copeia, 19971828, when a 13.7-m immature male was harpooned by fishermen off Table Bay, South Africa. Andrew Smith described the species as Rhincodon typus (Steel, 1985). However, small whale sharks were unknown until 1953, when a 355-mm embryo was taken in the Gulf of Mexico (Baughman, 1955; Reid 1957; Garrick, 1964).
