Description Size at maturty, developmental stages and breeding seasons of five sharks from the Portonovo
Coast are described. A maximum of twenty embryos with an average of twelve embryos of Sphyrna
blochii have been collected. The relationship between the number of embryos and the total length
of the mothers was also worked out. The other sharks studied for the breeding habits were S. lewini,
Rhizoprionodon acutus, Carcharhinm Itmbatus and C. sorrah. All these have a developed placental
system for nourishing their developing embryos in the uterus.
