About Blackgill Catshark
The blackgill catshark is a deepwater catshark known from very few specimens, found on or near the bottom on the continental slope, at 540–835 metres off the coasts of China and Japan. Specimens can attain a total length of at least 85 cm, but nothing else is known of its biology.
