Etymology: Apristurus: a-, Latin privative, i.e., without; pristis, from pristes (Gr.), sawyer (but here meaning saw); oura (Gr.), tail, referring to absence of saw-toothed crest of enlarged dermal denticles along upper edge of caudal fin as found in the closely related Pristiurus (=Galeus). (See ETYFish); longicephalus: longus (L.), long; cephalus, from kephale (Gr.), head, about ¼ of total length. (See ETYFish).

Inhabits deep water, probably near the bottom (Ref. 11146). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). First record of a cartilaginous fish manifesting rudimentary hermaphroditism (Ref. 53905). Biology little known (Ref. 6871).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduktion | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larver

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). First record of a cartilaginous fish manifesting hermaphroditism which is further classified as rudimentary hermaphroditism (Ref. 53905).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.2 - 7.4, mean 6 °C (based on 99 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [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).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mycket låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mer än 14 år (Fec assumed to be <10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
