Elasmobranchi (squali e razze) (sharks and rays) > Orectolobiformes (Carpet sharks) > Parascylliidae (Collared carpet sharks)
Etymology: Parascyllium: para (Gr.), near, i.e., presumed to be related to Scyliorhinus (now in Scyliorhinidae): skylion, Greek for dogfish or small shark. (See ETYFish);  sparsimaculatum: sparsus (L.), sparse or few; maculatum (L.), spotted, referring to relatively larger (and hence fewer) spots than congeners. (See ETYFish).

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Vertebre: 45 - 46. Body yellowish-brown with relatively few, large, diffuse-edged, rusty-brown spots; collar-like saddle over gill region extremely faint. Head relatively large (length greater than 16% TL). Eyes large (horizontal diameter >11% HL). Pectoral fin large, anterior margin at least 10% TL. Dorsal fins relatively tall, erect with angular apices. Upper jaw with 43-49 teeth rows. Differs from P. ferrugineum and the more heavily spotted "P. multimaculatum" morph by having a larger eye (versus <11% HL); slightly more than tooth rows (versus 38-41); fewer and much paler spots on the body ; and more erect and angular dorsal fins (Ref. 41629).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Species is likely to occur deeper, 245-435. Oviparous (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.5 - 17.3, mean 16 °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):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).
