Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0. Gill region with a prominent dark brownish collar (Ref. 13572). Caudal fin with its upper lobe not elevated above the body axis, with a strong terminal lobe and subterminal notch but no ventral lobe (Ref. 13572).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

A common but little-known shark found on the continental shelf, on or near rocky reefs or on firm bottom. Oviparous (Ref. 247, 43278). Probably of minor interest to fisheries (Ref. 13572).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larvae

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16 - 20.3, mean 19.5 °C (based on 7 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5352   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (55 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
