Etymology: Scymnodalatias: scymno-, referring to previous placement in Scymnodon; dalatias, referring to lack of dorsal spines like most sharks in the family Dalatiidae (sometimes included within Somniosidae). (See ETYFish); albicauda: albus (L.), white; cauda (L.), tail, referring to white markings on caudal fin. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.2 - 11.8, mean 9.2 (based on 20 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00168 - 0.00901), b=3.13 (2.94 - 3.32), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Fec=59).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100).
