Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN]. (See ETYFish); sinusmexicanus: -anus, Latin adjectival suffix that means, when attached to a name, “belonging to”: sinus, Latin for bay or gulf, referring to the Gulf of Mexico, type locality. (See ETYFish).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ekologi

marina; djupintervall 20 - 250 m (Ref. 55584), usually 42 - 91 m (Ref. 55584). Tropical

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.4 - 27.2, mean 24.5 °C (based on 103 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00224 (0.00105 - 0.00478), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Fec assumed to be <100).

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