Hi, i use to find every size about each shark species, but those are long sizes. i dont find anywhere some data about the the large size of sharks. So anyone know how large can be a bull shark ? ty http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sharks/FS_bullshark.htm http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=83 http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGIH_enCA213CA202 &q=atlantic+%2b+%22bull+shark%22  SignatureLive strong and have a nice day, - "Nil carborundum illegitimi"!

Maybe you didn't read them??? From http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sharks/FS_bullshark.htm "Life history: This species reaches maturity at about 6 years and lives at least 14 years. Number of pups per litter ranges from 1 to 13. Bull sharks can grow to about to 11.5 feet in length, although they rarely grow past 9 feet." From http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=83 "Their size at birth is about 60-80 cm in length. In the western north Atlantic off Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, and off South Africa, the young are born in late spring or early summer. Off Nicaragua, females may have young throughout the year, with a peak in spring and early summer. The estimated gestation period is 10-11 months. Males reach sexual maturity between 1.6 and 2.3 m in length, females at 1.8 to 2.3 m, both between 15-20 years." http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGIH_enCA213CA202 &q=atlantic+%2b+%22bull+shark%22 is a list of Google hits like those above that you could peruse for further info. A random selection from these yielded "Anatomy and appearance: Bull sharks are large and stout. Males can reach 2.1 meters (6.9 ft) and weigh 90 kilograms (198.4 lbs). Females can be much larger:up to 3.49 metres (11.5 ft) and 318 kg (700 lb). Bull sharks are wider than other sharks of comparable length, and are grey on top and white below. The second dorsal fin is smaller than the first." SignatureLive strong and have a nice day, - "Nil carborundum illegitimi"! Mac H E L P the planet - Don't I D L E ! ! !

Pardon the pun; but are you just trolling, and is this thread a lot of bull? At any rate; breadth is not a typical measurement when doing morphometrics on sea animals. Try searching for girth instead. http://www.taxidermy.net/forums/FishTaxiArticles/05/b/05A2B5EEAF.html Mentions: "I cought a 7ft 10in long X 47in girth(behind the dorsal fin) bull shark, and was courious as to how much it weighed. I do know it was heavy as hell and took 3 of us to drag it in the boat." http://www.landbasedsharkfishing.com/html/taggingandreleasing.html Mentions: "In this case we had -- species: sandbar, sex: female, total length: 7' 1", fork length: 5' 8", girth: 3' 3", condition: excellent, estimated formula weight: 130 pounds." So girth is approximately 50% of total length. Girth/3.1416(pi) will give you the diameter of the animal which would approximate "breadth". An 11 ft Bull Shark would have a diameter(breadth) of approximately 20 inches. SignatureLive strong and have a nice day, - "Nil carborundum illegitimi"! Mac H E L P the planet - Don't I D L E ! ! !

Width means breadth. Or perhaps you were after "girth"? cheers Bill > Hi, > i use to find every size about each shark species, but those are long sizes. > i dont find anywhere some data about the the large size of sharks. > So anyone know how large can be a bull shark ? > > ty A personal experience is often the best guide... http://tinyurl.com/yvfzrt :\ |
