Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) > Orectolobiformes (Carpet sharks) > Hemiscylliidae (Bamboo sharks)
Etymology: Chiloscyllium: cheilos (Gr.), lip, referring to membranous and broad lower lip, presumably of C. plagiosum (proposed without a species); skylion , Greek for dogfish or small shark. ( See ETYFish ) ;   punctatum: Latin for spotted, referring to scattering of small blackish spots on young specimens. ( See ETYFish ) .

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 0; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 0. Genus: Nostrils subterminal on snout; pre-oral snout long, mouth closer to eyes than snout tip; eyes and supraorbital ridges hardly elevated; no black hood on head or large spot or spots on sides of body above pectoral fins (Ref. 43278 ). Caudal fin with a pronounced subterminal notch but without a ventral lobe (Ref. 13575 ). Species: Young with dark transverse bands and usually a scattering of a few dark spots, bars not prominently edged with black (Ref. 13575 , 43278 ). Adults light-brown, usually without a color pattern (Ref. 13575 ). Dorsal fins larger than pelvic fins, with projecting free rear tips (Ref. 13575 ). Body without lateral dermal ridge (Ref. 4832 ,43278, 13575 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

A common inshore bottom shark found on coral reefs, often in tide pools (Ref. 247 ). Probably feeds on bottom invertebrates and small fish (Ref. 6871 ). Oviparous (Ref. 50449 ). Can survive up to 12 hours out of water (Ref. 247 ). Gills sometimes infested by larval isopods (Praniza-larva of isopod Gnathia ) (Ref. 247 ). Utilized as food (Ref. 247 ); for its meat and fins. Caught frequently by demersal gillnet, longline and trawl fisheries operating in insular and continental shelf waters (Ref.58048).

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

Oviparous, with rounded egg cases (Ref. 247 ). Paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.6 - 29.1, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1554 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00407 (0.00181 - 0.00918), b=3.09 (2.89 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.64 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100).
