The family includes 86 species in 17 genera. Species are characterized and most of them are illustrated. Summaries of biological studies pertinent to classification are included. Keys to genera and species are provided. Six new species and one new subspecies are described: Parmaturus manis of the western North Atlantic; P. stenseni of the Pacific continental slope off Panama; P. campechiensis from the Gulf of Mexico; Galeus schultzi from Philippine seas; G. arae antillensis from the West Indies; and two species of Apristurus from the western Atlantic, A. canutus Springer and Heemstra and A. parvipinnis Springer and Heemstra. Two populations close to Galeus arae and one population close to G. melastomus are treated here as subspecies; they are G. a. antillensis (new subspecies) and G. a. cadenati of the Caribbean region and G. m. murinum of northeastern Atlantic island slopes. Treatment emphasizes descriptive accounts thought to be useful for species identification.

For many years, brief encounters between sharks and humans could leave the latter with a vivid memory of the much-maligned fish but no convenient means of identifying it more specifically. With the publication of The Sharks of North American Waters in 1983, everyone from the experienced ichthyologist to the weekend angler had access to concise descriptions and accurate, detailed drawings in this handy field guide to more than one hundred species. All species that have been reported within five hundred nautical miles of U.S. and Canadian shores (plus a few deep-water species from adjacent areas) are illustrated, with summaries of diagnostic characteristics, similar species, geographic range, biology, reproduction, utility, and fishing methods. An illustrated key to the families of sharks, family descriptions, and species characteristics makes field identification simple. Also included is a general account of the evolution of sharks, their anatomy, reproduction, and distribution.
