Ray Mobula-Mobula Japonaise (Mobula japanica), Magdalena bay, South Pacific, Mexico. Mobula japanica is also called Spiny mobula ray or Japanese mobula ray. It is a species of pelagic fish of the Mobulidae family. Mobula japanica is now considered conspecific to Mobula mobular, it would be the same species. In fact it is no longer recognized by the IUCN as Mobula japanica. Mobula japanica can reach a maximum wingspan of 3.10 m, but the average size generally observed is around 2.30 m. It is identifiable by its head which detaches from the body, slight silver reflections on its cephalic fins, the ventral position of its mouth as well as the presence of a small sting on the posterior base of the dorsal fin and a white spot at its top. The color of the dorsal side is dark blue-mauve and a broad black band crosses the head joining one eye to the other. The ventral part is white. Mobula are planktivorous, migratory, slow-growing animals, highly fragmented populations that are scattered throughout tropical and temperate oceans around the world. Their biological and behavioral characteristics (low reproductive rates, late maturity and gregarious behavior) make these species particularly vulnerable to overexploitation in fisheries and extremely slow to recover from depletion. The Mobula japonica ray has a pelagic lifestyle, it can be observed in groups or alone. Its range is not clearly defined, but is found in coastal, offshore and possibly deep waters. This species frequents the tropical and temperate waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean as well as the central-eastern zone of the Atlantic Ocean. This species may be able to tolerate lower water temperatures than other mobulids. As a large species that feeds down the food chain, Mobula can be considered an indicator species of overall ecosystem health. Studies have proposed that the removal of large filter organisms from marine environments can lead to large, cascading changes in species composition. Regardless of the type of fishing this population, which has a low fertility rate, is listed as vulnerable.

Sand tiger shark - Requin taureau (Carcharias taurus) South Africa. The Sand tiger shark or Spotted ragged-tooth shark (Carcharias taurus) belongs to the family of «Odontaspididae». He is present in three big oceans, Red Sea and in the Mediterranean Sea. He can live more than 20 years for a maximum size of 2,80m, sometimes more of 3m. We distinguish him by a massive and lengthened body, the sides are grey-brown and the white stomach. His snout and of conical shape. He has two wide dorsal fins with almost equal size. His mouth is furnished with three rows of functional teeth disentangled in the shape of canine. Wide spots can cover the whole body and disappear when it reaches its sexual maturity. He possesses the peculiarity than to gulp down of the on-surface air to compensate its buoyancy because he has no swim bladder. The shark-bull is an ovoviviparous species. One of its peculiarities is also called intra-uterine cannibalism «oophagie». The gestation is of 9 months for one small only one.The Sand tiger shark is put in danger by its intensive, commercial and sports fishing. He is classified "Vulnerable" by the red list of the UICN.

Striped marlin-Marlin rayé (Kajikia audax) hunting school of fish, near to Magdalena bay, Pacific coast. He is a species of marlin found in tropical to temperate Indo-Pacific oceans not far from the surface. Epipelagic and oceanic species, usually found above the thermocline, but unlike species it ventures more readily into higher latitudes, tolerating temperate waters. The species is strongly oceanic, rarely entering coastal waters, and is most often seen near islands, seamounts and boundary currents where it feeds and breeds.The striped marlin is a predator that hunts during the day in the top 100 m or so of the water column, often near the surface. One of their chief prey is sardines but also wide variety of fishes like mackerel, crustaceans, and squids. The Striped Marlin consists of 42-48 rays on its tall first dorsal fin that is almost the same or longer than its body depth while the second dorsal fin is much smaller. They have torpedo-like and compressed bodies. They have around 10-20 clear, visible bluish stripes on the sides of their bodies even after death. Stripes consist of cobalt blue dots or narrow bands. First dorsal fin dark blue, other fins usually brown.The color of their bodies is dark blue or black above and silvery-white on the bottom. Striped Marlin has an average length of 2.9 m and a maximum length of 4.2 m and can weight up to 220 kg. Striped Marlin reached sexual maturity at an age of one or two years or 1.4 m for males and two or three years or 1.8 m for females. They can live up to at least 10 year. About reproduction Eggs is approximately one mm in diameter, but exact size not known. Mainly targeted via surface longlines in the commercial fishery. The species is also a popular recreational target. Recent stock assessments indicate a declining Pacific stocks, with commercial catch rates falling and the average size of fish captured decreasing. IUCN Red List Status for this fish is Near Threatened (NT).

Whale shark - Requin baleine (Rhincodon typus), Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) belongs to the family of Rhincodontidae. It is the biggest present cartilaginous fish on the planet. He arranges a massive body from 3 to 15 meters length for 2 to 12 tons weight (some of them can reach 20 meters for 34 tons). The livery of this fish in checkerboards is very characteristic. The stomach and the bottom of fins is white. His mouth, being able to reach two meters in width is equipped with tiny teeth distributed on 300 rows by jaw. Five pairs of branchiales cracks filter the water to assure its breath. This shark raises two dorsal ailerons and its tail fin is said " hétérocerque ", the upper lobe is more big than the lower lobe. His geographical distribution includes waters tropical and moderated in hot of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. It is a pelagic species living in the wide in very deep water. However they sometimes group together in shallow water by the hundreds. They migrate on long distances probably for the plankton and changes in water temperature. The shark-whale feeds on small-sized preys as the plankton, the krill, but also seaweeds, small shellfish and small squids. They filter their food by swimming slowly gaping mouth. Only four species of sharks filter their food, the shark-whale, the megamouth shark, the basking shark and the manta ray. The mode of reproduction of whale shark is still mysterious. The scientists are not able of defining if the animal is viviparous animal, oviparous or ovoviviparous, although the last mode is favored. The young shark are born formed and measure approximately 45 cms, and it reaches sexual maturity between 20 and 30 years. Because of his slow cycle of reproduction the shark-whale is threatened by overfishing for his flesh and his fins (the shark finning). He is classified "Vulnerable" by the red list of the UICN.
