Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN]. (See ETYFish); schmitti: In honor of American biologist Waldo L. Schmitt (1887-1977), curator of marine invertebrates at the U.S. National Museum, who collected holotype. (See ETYFish).

Ovoviviparous, embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.5 - 14.2, mean 7.9 (based on 118 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00257 (0.00165 - 0.00399), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): sehr niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert mehr als 14 Jahre. (Fec=2-3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (58 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (87 of 100).

Preiskategorie (Ref. 80766): Medium.
