Pale Catshark
Apristurus sibogae
The pale catshark (Apristurus sibogae) is a rare species of shark belonging to the family Pentanchidae, the deepwater catsharks. The holotype, the only specimen, was found on the Makassar Strait slope at a depth of 655 m (2,149 ft). Its length is around 21 cm (8.3 in), although this measurement was taken from a juvenile specimen. The reproduction of the pale catshark is oviparous.
