Etymology: Parmaturus: parma (L.), from parme (Gr.), small shield; oura (Gr.), tail, presumably referring to upper edge of caudal fin “armed with modified” scales (per Garman 1913). (See ETYFish);  albimarginatus: albus (L.), white; marginatus (L.), bordered, referring to broad white margins on posterior fins. (See ETYFish).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This scyliorhinid catshark is characterized by the following: a soft body with velvet-like skin of large tricuspidate denticles; color plain pale to medium brown; posterior margins of the dorsal, caudal and anal-fins are distinctly white-edged; upper and lower anterior caudal fin margins with pronounced caudal crests, the denticles on crests are greatly enlarged; teeth are mainly tricuspidate with greatly elongate median cusps, in 92 rows in both jaws; the first dorsal fin is slightly behind middle of back, the pelvic fins slightly in front of mid-body, prepelvic length 47% TL; vent at mid-length, pre-vent length 50% TL; relatively short snout, prenarial length 3.7% TL; short mouth, length 3.7% TL; short labial furrows, 1.7-2.0% TL, lower furrows subequal in length to upper furrows; head depressed and is shorter than abdomen, length 19.2% TL, pectoral-pelvic length 24.8% TL; second dorsal fin is larger than first, anterior margins of first 8.7% and second dorsal fin 10.4% TL; subterminal caudal lobe relatively small, subterminal margin length 3.3% TL, terminal margin length 3.8% TL; 43 monospondylous centra; 95 precaudal centra, 136 total (Ref. 74543).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00176 - 0.00714), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (43 of 100).
