Hi, I'll be reviewing this article over the next few days. Sasata (talk) 18:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

• (Just a comment: I reviewed it, since you do not have your name under it on GAN, and find it an excellent article! —Mattisse (Talk) 19:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)}

I agree with Matisse: this is another fine article, typical of the output of Yzx. I did a minor copyedit, mostly adding links, and doing some MOS tweaks. I will pass the article, and leave a few suggestions that might be useful. Sasata (talk) 22:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

• "This bottom-dwelling shark prefers flat, soft substrates close to shore," what does substrates mean in this context?
• "A number of genetically discrete subpopulations" I'm iffy about piping "genetically" to DNA, surely there must be a better link?
• "where gillnet "pangas" targeting this species" what's a panga?
• saw this recent article that might go in somewhere:
