Lamna ditropis (Lamna ditropis)

Japanese: ネズミザメ(鼠鮫) - ネズミザメ(英語表記)Lamna ditropis
Lamna ditropis (Lamna ditropis)
A marine fish of the family Lamniformes in the order Lamniformes. Its name comes from its round eyes and face that resembles a mouse. It is also known as the camel shark. In the Tohoku region, it is more commonly known as Mouka, a corrupted version of Mafuka (true shark). Its English name is porbeagle, a compound word of porpoise (dolphin) and beagle (beagle dog). It is also called salmon shark. The closely related porbeagle is found in the North and South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, but this species is limited to its distribution in the North Pacific Ocean from the waters off Japan in the west to the Aleut Islands, and from California to Alaska in the east.
