Group courtship, mating behaviour and siphon sac function in the whitetip reef shark, Triaenodon obesus

Animal Behaviour, 2004
We analysed video records of three mating events involving nine free-living whitetip reef sharks in Cocos Islands, Costa Rica to examine reproductive behaviour in this species. We describe several behaviours never before documented in this species, and four behaviours never before documented in any elasmobranch.

Triaenodon obesus Ruppell

2019
Triaenodon obesus (Rüppell) (Fig. 4A) A tissue sample was taken from a frozen specimen of Triaenodon obesus (SL-119) that had been collected earlier in 2018 from the Negombo fish market in Negombo in the Western Province. This specimen has now been deposited in the BRT Ichthyology Collection (BRT-I 0031).

Occurrence of the whitetip reef shark Triaenodon obesus at the Kermadec Islands, Southwest Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, 2017
ABSTRACTFour observations of what was probably a single vagrant adult female whitetip reef shark Triaenodon obesus were made at Raoul and Meyer Islands, Kermadec Islands, New Zealand, over a 12 month period in 2014/15. This is the most southerly occurrence of the whitetip reef shark and ambient winter temperatures were close to the assumed thermal ...

Human introduction or natural dispersion? Atlantic Ocean occurrence of the Indo‐Pacific whitetip reef shark Triaenodon obesus

Journal of Fish Biology, 2018
Occurrence of multiple whitetip reef sharks Triaenodon obesus in the Atlantic Ocean is reported for the first time from near a sunken ferry off the Paraná coast in south‐eastern Brazil. This occurrence is hypothesized to have been caused by either a human introduction or a remarkably long oceanic displacement.

Oceanic dispersal in a sedentary reef shark (Triaenodon obesus): genetic evidence for extensive connectivity without a pelagic larval stage

Journal of Biogeography, 2011
AbstractAim  Most reef fishes are site‐attached, but can maintain a broad distribution through their highly dispersive larval stage. The whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) is site‐attached, yet maintains the largest Indo‐Pacific distribution of any reef shark while lacking the larval stage of bony (teleost) fishes.

Husbandry and reproduction of Whitetip reef sharks Triaenodon obesus at Steinhart Aquarium, San Francisco

International Zoo Yearbook, 2006
At Steinhart Aquarium between December 2001 and July 2003 four litters of Whitetip reef sharks Triaenodon obesus were born to two ♀♀ producing at least 13 pups. Mean gestation period, estimated from the first appearance of mating wounds on the ♀ to parturition, was 387 ± 33·7 days (mean ± SD; n= 3).
