Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) > Carcharhiniformes (Ground sharks) > Triakidae (Houndsharks) > Triakinae
Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN]. ( See ETYFish ) ;   dorsalis: Latin for “of the back,†referring to “projection of the posterior angle of the first dorsal fin to the vertical of the origin of the ventralsâ€. ( See ETYFish ) .

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 14.8 - 26, mean 16.6 °C (based on 31 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00224 (0.00105 - 0.00478), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.6   ±0.55 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec=4). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Very high vulnerability (79 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 36.2 [10.6, 179.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.511 [0.153, 1.851] mg/100g; Protein = 20.7 [18.4, 23.0] %; Omega3 = 0.0958 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 72.1 [21.3, 262.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.2 [6.7, 48.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.12 [0.50, 2.28] mg/100g (wet weight);
