Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

An inshore shark found on the continental shelf. Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Sexual dimorphism is evident in dentition of male species (Ref. 49562).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Males have longer teeth with fewer cups than females (Ref. 51093) to make 'courtship biting' more effective (Ref. 49562).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 10.2 - 13.2, mean 11.3 °C (based on 40 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00170 - 0.00646), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec=2).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100) .
