"The pyjama shark is the larger and thicker-bodied member of the genus, growing to 1.1 m (3.6 ft) long and 7.9 kg (17 lb) or more in weight." This sentence confuses me, as what is it larger and thicker-bodied than?

Changed to "...thicker-bodied of the two Poroderma species"

Gurnard needs disambiguation.

Done.

Too bad, no picture.

What?

From the beginning of the last paragraph:

//The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the pyjama shark as least concern, citing its small distribution and a recent increase in fishing pressure on small sharks in the region.//

That doesn't make sense as it stands: things aren't generally listed least concern on the basis of the things which might put them at risk!

Yeah, that was badly phrased. Reformulated it acc to source. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Have also changed a sentence on the same subject in the introduction to match that change. :-)
