Hi Jen, Yes, it's a great shot. I think we will be seeing plenty of Galapagos Sharks during the Kermadec Islands expedition. As for the factsheet - alas, there isn't one on the site ... yet. I'm heading off tomorrow so can't add it right away, but will do so after I return to work in early June.
Hi Jen, It has taken me a while, but I have finally added a factsheet for this species.
