Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This small-sized shark is distinguished by the following characters: adults with two distinct and wide brown saddle blotches before first dorsal fin while juveniles with 3; first saddle immediately behind eye, second over posterior 1/3 of base and inner margin of pectoral fin, the third a little before first dorsal fin, which fades with growth; dark lateral circular to oblong blotches above gill openings and on lateral side of trunk; young individuals with many polka dots on body and fins; anterior nasal flap triangular without an elongate flap (Ref. 98601).

All specimens were collected by trawl nets near the edge of the continental shelf (Ref. 75538).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 17.5 - 23.6, mean 20.2 (based on 66 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00263 (0.00139 - 0.00497), b=3.21 (3.04 - 3.38), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary low fecundity).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).
