Remarks: Prior to White et al. (2013, 2017) clarifying the status of C. granulosus, most large South African Centrophorusspecies were referred to as C. lusitanicus( Bass et al., 1976, Compagno et al., 1989). However, White et al. (2017)determined that C. lusitanicusis a junior synonym of C. granulosus. Conservation status: EN (2020).
