Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

A slender finback catshark that is characterized by the following: second dorsal-fin apex over anal fin with its origin slightly forward of the anal-fin origin; interdorsal distance subequal to head length; snout to cloaca length more than twice (2.1-2.3 times) interdorsal distance; lower labial furrow more than twice (2.7-3.7 times) length of upper furrow; anterior nasal flaps with a greatly enlarged posterior lobe; internarial space only slightly shorter than nostril width; dorsal margin of caudal fin about twice (1.9-2 times) length of second dorsal fin; height of second dorsal fin about twice (1.9-2.1 times) height of anal fin; dorsal surface and sides with a striking color pattern consisting of numerous dark spots and blotches, some equal or large than eye diameter; white spots on body absent; monospondylous centra 38-39; total centra 140-143 (Ref. 58071).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6328 [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): 4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100).
