Distribution and remarks: East Atlantic: known from Bay of Biscay to Mediterranean, Morocco, Senegal to Namibia (these records may include other species in addition to Squalus blainvillei ). Some records from the northwest Pacific and eastern Atlantic are based at least in part on Squalus mitsukurii and possibly other species. Whether Squalus blainville is as wide-ranging as reported for blainville -group dogfishes (including Squalus mitsukurii ) remains to be determined.
