Striped big-headed shark ^[1] ( Cephaloscyllium fasciatum ) is one of the species of the big-headed shark genus, the family of cat sharks ( Scyliorhinidae ). First described in the journal “Journal of Zoology (London)” ^[2] .

Habitat and habitat

This is a deep-water little-studied species, which in the western part of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Vietnam and Hainan Island ( China ) and, possibly, the Philippines on the outer continental shelf, at a depth of 219 to 450 m ^[3] ^[4] .

Description

The maximum size is 42 cm. The size of newborns is about 12 cm. Puberty occurs at a length of 36 cm. The color is striped.

Biology and Ecology

Like other big-headed sharks, striped big -headed sharks are capable of pumping water and swelling in case of danger; in this way they wedge in the cracks and do not allow themselves to be seized and even scare away the predator ^[5] . This species reproduces by laying eggs ^[6] .
