Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / description of shark fins
English term or phrase: more shallow
I'm translating an article on sharks that will appear in a scientific publication to be distributed in Spain an various Latin American countries. It will be read by marine biologists. The sentence goes: The posterior margin of the pectoral fin is generally more shallow in (name of species) than in (name of species).

Menos protuberante


Explanation:
También podría ser: menos marcado. Debido al sentido negativo de shallow, tendrías que traducir more por menos. Y luego seguido del adjetivo más adecuado.

más delgadas


Explanation:
Según la guía del enlace que publico a continuación una forma de identificar a las distintas especies de tiburones es observando las aletas. En la guía dan descripciones de aletas para diferenciar a los tiburones en peligro de extinción.

https://cites.unia.es/cites/file.php/1/files/identifyingshar...
Muchos expertos concuerdan en la necesidad de supervisar el comercio de aletas de cinco especies de tiburones que suscitan preocupación: jaquetón oceánico, tiburón sardinero y tres especies de tiburones martillo (cornuda común, cornuda cruz y cornuda gigante).

Las aletas pectorales del tiburón aletinegro también son más largas y delgadas que las aletas cortas y gruesas de los tiburones martillo.

Primera aleta dorsal: larga, aplanada hacia el ápice; margen posterior recto a levemente curvo (similar a la cornuda cruz, menos delgada que la primera aleta dorsal de la cornuda gigante)
