I propose to review this article and will be studying it in detail shortly. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:21, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A few prose points

"This species is gray above and white below, which extends onto the flanks as an obvious pale stripe." - This sentence needs clarification.

Rephrased to "This species is gray above and white below, with an obvious pale stripe on the flanks." -- Yzx (talk) 14:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Innocuous towards humans, the Pondicherry shark was caught and used for meat." - I don't much care for the use of the word "innocuous" here.

Changed to "harmless to humans". -- Yzx (talk) 14:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, little I can find to criticize. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
