(en noun)- There were Port Jackson sharks with a brown back, a whitish belly, and eleven rows of teeth, bigeye sharks with necks marked by a large black spot encircled in white and resembling an eye, and Isabella sharks whose rounded snouts were strewn with dark speckles.
- The relatively large eyes may enable the bigeye to feed at lower light intensity than other tunas.
- The percentages of bigeye in the catches were relatively high during the early to mid 1950s, but then levelled off at less than 5 percent of the total catches.
