Title The whale shark: Is the species endangered or vulnerable?
 
Creator Silas, E G
 
Subject Shark fisheries
 
Description Notable contributions summarising our knowledge of
the known habits of the whale shark in general, and
its occurrence in Indian coastal waters have been made
by Gudger (1935), Chevey (1936) and Prater (1941).
The monumental work "The Fishes of the Western
North Atlantic" by Bigelow and Schroeder (1948) lists
several references to Rhiniodon typus Smith from
various parts of the world, but there are some
omissions from Indian coastal waters.
