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); taylori: In honor of entomologist Frank Henry Taylor (1886-1945), Institute of Tropical Medicine, Townsville, North Queensland, Australia, who collected holotype. (See ETYFish).

Lengte bij maturiteit / Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm 47.0, range 42 - ? cm
Max length : 69.1 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9161); max. gerapporteerde leeftijd: 7 Jaren (Ref. 9161)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 0; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 0. Brownish grey above, white below, fins light-edged but not conspicuously marked (Ref. 9997).
A little-known shark (Ref. 9997) found on the continental shelf from close inshore to a depth of at least 110 m (Ref. 6871). Feeds mainly on fishes, but also takes cephalopods and crustaceans (Ref. 6871). Viviparous (Ref. 50449). Caught frequently by inshore demersal gillnet fisheries off Papua, but rarely elsewhere. Utilized for its fins and meat (Ref.58048). Too small to be of any commercial importance (Ref. 6871).
Viviparous, with a yolk-sac placenta (Ref. 9997) and 1-10 pups after a gestation period of 11-12 months; born at ~ 25 cm TL; very rapid growth (Ref.58048). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00427 (0.00199 - 0.00915), b=3.11 (2.94 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
