The smallfin gulper shark or endeavour dogfish, [1] (Centrophorus moluccensis) is a medium-sized deepwater dogfish in the family Centrophoridae.
Physical characteristics
The smallfin gulper has no anal fin, two dorsal fins with spines, long free rear tips on pectoral fins, and a deeply notched caudal fin. Its maximum length is 98 cm (39 in). [2]
Distribution
The smallfin gulper is found in the western Indian Ocean off South Africa and Mozambique, and the western Pacific off Honshū, Japan, Indonesia, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, and Australia. [3] The Australian populations are regarded as near threatened in the Eastern [4] and least concern in the Western [5] populations.
Habits and habitat
Smallfin gulpers are common deepwater sharks. They live near the bottom between 130 m (430 ft) and 820 m (2,690 ft). They are ovoviviparous and have two pups per litter. Their diets are primarily bony fish, but also other sharks, molluscs, crustaceans, and even tunicates are consumed. [6]
