Centrophorus granulosus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801). Gulper shark<br />
Wide-ranging but patchy in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, but some records may represent<br />
additional species. FAO Areas 27, 31(?), 34, 37, 41(?), 47, 51, 57, 61, 71. Shelf and upper to<br />
mid slope. 50-1440m (mostly 200-600m). Resolution of taxonomic issues ongoing and as<br />
such occurrence and distribution not well defined.<br />
Centrophorus harrissoni McCulloch, 1915. Longnose gulper shark<br />
Western Central and Southwest Pacific, Eastern Indian: Australia. FAO Areas 57, 71, 81.<br />
Upper to mid slope. 250-790m. Resolution of taxonomic issues ongoing. May represent a<br />
species complex.<br />
Centrophorus isodon (Chu, Meng & Liu, 1981). Blackfin gulper shark<br />
Patchy in the Indo-West Pacific. FAO Areas 51, 57, 61, 71. Mid slope. 760-770m.<br />
Centrophorus lusitanicus Bocage & Capello, 1864. Lowfin gulper shark<br />
Patchy in the Eastern Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific. FAO Areas 27, 34, 51, 61. Upper to<br />
mid slope. 300-1400m (mostly 300-600m). Indo-West Pacific form may represent a separate<br />
species (Centrophorus cf. lusitanicus in White et al. 2006).<br />
Centrophorus moluccensis Bleeker, 1860. Smallfin gulper shark<br />
Patchy in the Indo-West Pacific. FAO Areas 51, 57, 61, 71, 81. Outer shelf and upper to mid<br />
slope. 125-820m. Resolution of taxonomic issues ongoing. May represent a species complex.<br />
Centrophorus niaukang Teng, 1959. Taiwan gulper shark<br />
Scattered locations in the Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific. FAO Areas 31, 34, 47, 51, 57(?),<br />
61, 71(?). Outer shelf and upper to mid slope. 98-~1000m. Taxonomic resolution of this<br />
species' relationship to Centrophorus acus is ongoing.<br />
Centrophorus seychellorum Baranes, 2003. Seychelles gulper shark<br />
Western Indian: Seychelles. FAO Area 51. Mid slope. 1000m.<br />
Centrophorus squamosus (Bonnaterre, 1788). Leafscale gulper shark<br />
Wide-ranging, but patchy in the Eastern Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific. FAO Areas 27, 34,<br />
47, 51, 61, 71, 81. Upper to deep slope and abyssal plains. 230-2400m.<br />
Centrophorus tessellatus Garman, 1906. Mosaic gulper shark<br />
Scattered locations in the Western Atlantic and Pacific, but some records provisional. FAO<br />
Areas 31, 61, 77. Upper slope. 260-730m. Taxonomic issues mean that occurrence and<br />
distribution are not well defined and as such many records are provisional.<br />
Centrophorus uyato (Rafinesque, 1810). Southern dogfish<br />
Patchy in the Eastern and Western Atlantic and the Indo-West Pacific, but inadequately<br />
defined due to taxonomic issues. FAO Areas 27, 31, 34, 37, 51, 57, 61, 71. Shelf and upper to<br />
mid slope. 50-1400m. Taxonomic issues mean that occurrence and distribution are not well<br />
defined and as such many records are provisional. Likely a species complex.<br />
Centrophorus sp. A [Séret].<br />
Western Central Pacific: New Caledonia. FAO Area 71.<br />
Deania calcea (Lowe, 1839). Birdbeak or shovelnose dogfish<br />
Wide-ranging in the Eastern Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific. FAO Areas 27, 34, 47, 51, 57,<br />
61, 81, 87. Shelf and upper to mid slope. 70-1470m (usually 400-900m). Indonesian form<br />
may represent a distinct species (Deania cf. calcea in White et al. 2006).<br />
