Whale shark pup in the Marshall Islands

Hi all,
A colleague of mine recently sent me a PDF of a (peer-reviewed) article updating the fish list of the Marshall Islands by Jack E. Randall et al. (2005) in 'Aqua, Journal of Icthyology and Aquatic Biology (vol. 9, no. 3, p. 115-?)' entitled "Ninety-one new records of fish from the Marshall Islands". This paper provides the first official record of
R. typus
in the islands and, perhaps of wider interest, also shows a photo of a 56 cm TL embryo or newborn that was found stranded on Mili Atoll.
There isn't really any extra information in the paper, but I'm happy to send over the (partial) PDF to anyone that's interested. I hadn't heard of the reference before, so I thought it was worth bringing to people's attention...
Cheers,
Simon.
