海洋大學鯊魚實驗室為砂錐齒鯊增添自１９５５年被發現以來，第九筆的物種紀錄。此紀錄是大眼砂錐齒鯊 (*Odontaspis noronhai*)第一筆在西北太平洋的紀錄：形態學和ＤＮＡ的鑑定，此標本應為大眼砂錐齒鯊，然而牠的牙齒與過去的紀錄並不一致：此標本的牙齒排數比過往的紀錄都來得少，並且幾乎所有的牙齒都在左右兩側有兩個尖突，而過往的紀錄都只有一個，因此推測是新的亞種。

A new record of the rare Bigeye Sand Tiger shark from the northwestern Pacific has been documented by National Taiwan Ocean University’s Shark Lab. 

The location of its capture, morphology and DNA indicates that the specimen is a bigeye sand tiger shark (*Odontaspis noronhai*).  However, upon close inspection, the dentition of the specimen is different from all other specimens by having two cusplets on at least one side of cusps on most of the teeth (vs. only one cusplet per side), and lower total tooth count (29/29 vs. 34–38/37–46), therefore it is speculated to be a new subspecies.

New subspecies of Odontaspis noronhai

這個標本外表和其他大眼砂錐齒鯊一樣，但是海大鯊魚實驗室鑑定之後，發現一些不尋常之處

This specimen looks and has similar DNA to other bigeye sand tiger sharks, however upon close inspection...
