English term or phrase: silky shark
The silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) is a species of requiem shark, family Carcharhinidae, named for the smooth texture of its skin. One of the most abundant sharks in the pelagic zone, the highly mobile silky shark can be found around the world in tropical waters. It is most often found near the edges of continental shelves, from the surface to a depth of 50 m (160 ft). The silky shark usually grows to a length of 2.5 m (8.2 ft), and has a typical, streamlined "shark" shape.
