Eponymy: Dr Robert Selbie Clark (1882–1950) was a British marine zoologist and explorer who was a member of Shackleton’s Imperial Transantarctic Expedition (1914–1917), being one of those left on Elephant Island when Shackleton sailed in an open boat to [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Inhabits mud-bottom habitat on the upper slope, generally in waters deeper than 350 meters. Mainly feeds on small bony fishes (Ref. 114953). Stomach contents include one specimen of Mullus argentinae, remains of a teleost fish and predominance of Myctophidae fishes. Sympatric with other chondrichthyans, Etmopterus bigelowi, Squalus aff. blainvillei, and Dipturus leptocauda (Ref. 56543). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
