A genus of sharks commonly called tope sharks or soupfin sharks, small predatory sharks found in deep ocean waters.
From Greek 'galea' (helmet) and 'rhino' (nose), scientific nomenclature established in the 19th century for this cosmopolitan shark genus.
Tope sharks were once fished so intensively that populations crashed, making them a cautionary tale about overfishing that led to modern shark conservation efforts.
