I need some help interpreting the California laws regarding sharks in "home aquariums".
Class Elasmobranchiomorphi - Cartilaginous Fishes
Class Elasmobranchiomorphi - Cartilaginous Fishes
(A) Family Carcharhinidae - Requiem Sharks All species of genus Carcharhinus (Freshwater sharks) (D).
(B) Family Potamotrygonidae - River stingrays All species (D).
This is a direct cut from http://www.bornfreeusa.org/b4a2_exotic_animals_state.php?s=ca it clearly says all species of genus carcharhinus are banned from private owner ship but after that it states (freshwater sharks). So does this mean all carcharhinus are banned or only the "freshwater sharks"? Also would something like a whitetip reef shark be legal because it isn't carcharhinus it is Triaenodon?
(B) Family Potamotrygonidae - River stingrays All species (D).
