The spinner shark, Carcharhinus brevipinna, is a requiem shark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_shark) of the family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29) Carcharhinidae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcharhinidae), found in the western Atlantic Ocean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean) between latitudes 40° N (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40th_parallel_north) and 38° S (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38th_parallel_south). Its length is up to about 3 m.
The spinner shark is a slender shark with a long, narrow, pointed snout, long gill slits and small, narrow-cusped teeth. The first dorsal fin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_fin) is small, there is no interdorsal ridge, and the labial furrows are longer than in any other grey shark. It is found on the continental (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_shelf) and insular shelves from close inshore to offshore. It is capable of vertical spinning leaps out of the water as a feeding technique in which the shark spins through a school of small fish with an open mouth and then breaks the surface. It feeds mainly on pelagic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagic) bony fishes, also small sharks, cuttlefish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish), squids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid), and octopuses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus).
It is viviparous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viviparous). It forms schools, and is highly migratory off Florida (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida) and Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana) and in the Gulf of Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico). It is regularly caught in fisheries and the flesh is utilized fresh and dried salted for human consumption. The fins are probably used in the oriental shark fin trade, and livers for vitamin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin) oil production.
