A slender, dwarf catshark with 2 equal-sized dorsal fins and a long tape-like caudal fin (Ref. 5578 ). Grey-brown in color (Ref. 5578 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Found on the upper continental slope and outer shelf (Ref. 244 ). Feeds on small bony fishes, crustaceans and cephalopods (Ref. 244 ). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449 ), with 2 young in a litter (Ref. 244 ). Geographic or bathymetric segregation of populations by sex probably occurs as most specimens taken off Natal were male (Ref. 244 ).
