Ginger carpetshark


The ginger carpetshark is a species of carpetshark of the family Parascylliidae endemic to the waters off western Australia. It is a small fish at only TL in length in females and harmless to humans. Its depth range is on the upper continental shelf. It is known from only three specimens, and so biological and population data are lacking. It is likely not under threat due to its depth range, but its limited range may make it vulnerable to fishing. Reproduction is oviparous and embryos feed solely on yolk.
