Fresh fins of the adult female <i>Glyphis glyphis</i>.

<p>Field code 220348, estimated length 237–260 cm: (A) first dorsal fin; (B) right pelvic fin; (C) second dorsal fin; (D) lower caudal-fin lobe; (E) left pectoral fin; (F) right pectoral fin. Tape measure is set at 47 cm.</p

Molecular species identification using the mitochondrial <i>NADH2</i> gene.

<p>Neighbour-joining tree of <i>NADH2</i> sequences, estimated using the Kimura 2 parameter distance model of molecular evolution, of <i>Glyphis garricki</i>, <i>Glyphis glyphis</i>, <i>Glyphis gangeticus</i> and <i>Lamiopsis tephrodes</i>. The species identifications of samples GN15749 and GN16686 are confirmed as <i>G</i>. <i>glyphis</i> and sample GN16684 is confirmed as <i>G</i>. <i>garricki</i>.</p

Freshly caught specimen of <i>Glyphis garricki</i>.

<p>Estimated length 100–105 cm, caught 6 November 2014.</p

Map of Papua New Guinea and the Daru region.

<p>(A) Papua New Guinea with the black box indicating the Daru region; (B) Inset of the Daru region from where the five <i>Glyphis</i> specimens were caught by fishers from the village of Katatai. Black star indicates the approximate capture location of the pregnant female <i>Glyphis glyphis</i>.</p

Dried first dorsal fin of <i>Glyphis garricki</i>.

<p>Field code 220358, estimated length 100–105 cm.</p

Whole jaw of <i>Glyphis glyphis</i>.
