1. CARCHARIAS MENISORRAH. = silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis)
The silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis), also known by numerous names such as blackspot shark, grey whaler shark, olive shark, ridgeback shark, sickle shark, sickle-shaped shark and sickle silk shark, is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, named for the smooth texture of its skin. It is one of the most abundant sharks in the pelagic zone, and can be found around the world in tropical waters.

2. CARCHARIAS LIMBATUS. = blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus)
The blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) is a species of requiem shark, and part of the family Carcharhinidae. It is common to coastal tropical and subtropical waters around the world, including brackish habitats.

3. CARCHARIAS ACUTUS. = milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus)
The milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus) is a species of requiem shark, and part of the family Carcharhinidae, whose common name comes from an Indian belief that consumption of its meat promotes lactation. The largest and most widely distributed member of its genus, the milk sharks can be found in coastal tropical waters throughout the eastern Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific regions.

4. ZYGAENA BLOCHII. = winghead shark (Eusphyra blochii)
The winghead shark (Eusphyra blochii) is a species of hammerhead shark, and part of the family Sphyrnidae. Its name comes from its exceptionally large "hammer", or cephalofoil, which can be as wide as half of the shark's total length. The function of this structure is unclear, but may relate to the shark's senses.
