Collared carpetshark
The collared carpetshark is a poorly understood species of carpetshark of the family Parascylliidae endemic to the waters of eastern Australia between latitudes 26°S and 38°S. It is typically found in depth near the floor of rocky reefs on the continental shelf, though its depth range can extend between. At a maximum length of only, it poses no threat to humans. It is common within its range and is not targeted species. This, combined with high survival rates after discardment and a significant portion of habitat untouched by fishing are why it is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Reproduction is oviparous and embryos feed solely on yolk.
