Megamouth shark Baja California, Mexico, and samples taken from GenBank in order to perform a population genetic analyses of the megamouth shark; the results indicated no genetic diversity between populations found in different geographical locations, which indicates the species forms a single, highly migratory, interbreeding population. The first megamouth shark was captured on November 15, 1976, about 25 miles off the coast of Kāneohe, Hawaii, when it became entangled in the sea anchor of United States Navy ship "AFB-14".
