  • Location & Habitat: The longfin mako is a circumtropical pelagic species recorded from the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and western north and eastern Atlantic Ocean. In the western Atlantic Ocean, the species is most common off the coast of Cuba, where it was first described, and in the straits of Florida. There are records of the longfin mako off of Florida, the Gulf Stream off eastern U.S., Cuba, and southern Brazil. In the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the species exists in Spain, Portugal, probably the Mediterranean, Morocco, western Sahara, Canary Islands, Mauritania, Guinea-bissau, Liberia, Ghana, and the Cape Verde Islands. It has also been recorded in the western Indian Ocean off of South Africa and Madagascar. In the western Pacific Ocean, the longfin mako has been found in Japan, Taiwan, and Australia. In the central Pacific, it has been recorded northeast of Micronesia, between Solomon and Nauru islands, the area south of Johnston and the Hawaiian islands, near Phoenix Island, and north of the Hawaiian Islands. Finally, in the eastern Pacific, it can be found off the coast of southern California. The longfin mako is found in numerous localities off the northwestern African coast.
  • Biology: The maximum recorded length of the longfin mako is 13.7 ft; the size at birth is between 3.2 and 3.9 ft. Adult males grow to 8.0 ft, while adult females grow from 8.0 to 13.7 ft long. A 7.2 foot specimen reportedly weighed 154 lbs.
  • Physical Description: The longfin mako has a slender, spindle-shaped body with a moderately long conical snout and large blade-like teeth without lateral cusplets or serrations. Like other members of the family Lamnidae, the longfin mako has long gill slits for more efficient gas exchange. The pectoral fins are broad-tipped and as long or longer than the head. The first dorsal fin is large with a light free rear tip. Both the anal fin and the second dorsal fin are quite small. There are strong keels on caudal peduncle and short secondary keels on caudal base. The caudal fin is crescent-shaped. The head of the longfin mako is conical and long in proportion to its total length, while the conical snout can vary from very acute to more or less blunt. The mouth shorter than it is wide with the lower teeth external. The eyes are large, round and lateral. The spiracles are minute and scarcely perceivable. The pectoral fins of the longfin mako are proportionately larger than those on the shortfin mako. The pectoral fins of the longfin mako are wide with a round tip, and they range between 22.5-30.7% of TL. The pelvic fins are short with concave posterior margins. The caudal fin is semilunate, and the upper lobe is not much larger than the lower one. The terminal caudal lobe is not prominent, and the subterminal notch is well distinguished. The dorsolateral coloration is a dark slate-blue or gray-black in life, while the underside of the belly is white. However, the underside of the snout and jaw is dark in adults and large juveniles and it spreads to the origin of the pectoral fins, although not in young. The dark color of the flanks extends ventrally onto abdomen in adults. The top pelvic fins are completely dark, and the underside is white with a prominent dark margin.
