Orectolobus ornatus
Picture by
Randall, J.E.
Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) >
Orectolobiformes
(Carpet sharks) >
Orectolobidae
(Carpet or nurse sharks)
Etymology:
Orectolobus:
orektos
(Gr.), stretched out;
lobus
(L.), from
lobos
(Gr.), rounded projection or protuberance, referring to long nasal barbels of
Squalus barbatus
(=
O. maculatus
). (
See ETYFish
)
;
ornatus:
Latin for adorned or decorated, presumably referring to its color pattern, described as yellowish with broad dark crossbands (the hinder ones encircling the tail), and two dorsal bands with “deeply fretted edges”, each enclosing a pairs of ocelli; name could also refer to the “tentacular fringe” around the head. (
See ETYFish
)
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 0 - 100 m (Ref.
54689
). Tropical
Southwest Pacific: east Australia and southern Papua New Guinea.

: 0. Back with light areas between dark saddles marked with dark, light-centered blotches and spots, not reticulated lines (Ref.
13577
). Caudal fin with its upper lobe hardly elevated above the body axis, with a strong terminal lobe and subterminal notch but no ventral lobe (Ref.
13577
).
A common bottom shark of inshore continental waters, on algal-covered rocky areas and coral reefs (Ref.
247
). Nocturnal, resting on the bottom during the day and prowling on its reef habitat at night (Ref.
247
). Presumably feeding on bottom invertebrates and fishes but diet unrecorded (Ref.
13577
). Ovoviviparous (Ref.
50449
). Attacks waders and fishers in tide pools (Ref.
247
). Interest to fisheries limited; its skin very tough and attractively patterned and utilized for leather (Ref.
13577
).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 15.3 - 26.7, mean 18.5 °C (based on 386 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5012 [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 ±0.60 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 5.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=20; K=0.19;).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153
): High vulnerability (60 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155
): Calcium = 7.76 [1.75, 30.74] mg/100g; Iron = 0.33 [0.08, 0.92] mg/100g; Protein = 19.8 [17.6, 21.9] %; Omega3 = 0.0801 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 46.2 [13.2, 130.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23 [8, 62] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.57 [0.28, 1.16] mg/100g (wet weight);
