Description Found on the outer continental and insular shelves and slopes, most commonly below 200 m. Primarily a solitary shark. Feeds mainly on bony fishes and also skates, other sharks (Galeus, Squalus, Etmopterus and Centrophorus), and also on squids, octopi, amphipods, isopods, shrimps, lobsters, polychaetes and siphonophores. Adults eat more crustaceans and sharks and less cephalopods than young. Ovoviviparous with 10 to 16 young in a litter. Quite common. [details]

Distribution from George's Bank, the east coast of Florida, Northern Gulf of Mexico, and off the southern Bahamas
