Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Espinhos anais: 0. A slender weasel shark with a moderately long snout, large eyes, and a short, small mouth with small, serrated upper teeth and erect-cusped lower teeth (Ref. 5578). Light grey or bronze with longitudinal yellow stripes, fins plain; white below (Ref. 5578).

A very common inshore to offshore shark of the continental shelf occurring at depths of a few meters to slightly over 100 m (Ref. 244).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.7 - 25.9, mean 19.9 °C (based on 45 cells).

Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5664 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00363 (0.00147 - 0.00899), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.64 se; based on food items.

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Muito baixo(a), tempo mínimo de duplicação da população maior que 14 anos (Fec=1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (84 of 100).
