When you read max size, these are typically records or near records for the species. It doesn't mean that your shark will grow that big. It is like saying the **** sapien can growth up to 7 ft in height and weight over 1000 lbs. all true but uncommon.

I have seen many Cali horns in the 3 ft range. Do realize that growth rates of sharks are accelerated in the captive setting. The will often reach the size of maturity quicker than the wild counterpart, though that doesn't necessarily mean that they will be sexually mature at that size.

Edit. I can't believe that our genus is blocked and replaced with **** when typing it. How pathetic. Another great example of the absurdity of political correctness.
