Squalus sp.

Tooth type: Cutting.

Ebert et al. (2021) listed 34 recent Squalus species, the biology of some of which are poorly known. Most extant species include bony fishes and several kinds of invertebrates in their diet (Last et al., 2007; Ebert et al., 2021). Cortés (1999) assigned TL values between 3.9 and 4.2 to five Squalus species, all with bony fishes as staple food. The members of this genus can be found from 0 to more than 1500 m depth (Ebert et al., 2021).
