Elasmobranchi (squali e razze) (sharks and rays) > Squatiniformes (Angel sharks) > Squatinidae (Angel sharks)
Etymology: Squatina: Latin for skate, which angel sharks superficially resemble, presumably tautonymous with Squalus squatina Linnaeus 1758 (no species mentioned). (See ETYFish); tergocellata: tergum (L.), back; ocellata (L.), having little eyes (ocelli), referring to dark-edged and dark-spotted ocelli on dorsal surface. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.3 - 16, mean 12.7 °C (based on 22 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00309 - 0.01025), b=3.06 (2.90 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.62 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Fec assumed to be <100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (81 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
