Notes |
Most Dogfishes grow to no more than 1 m in length. They mainly inhabit colder waters to depths of about 800 m though in southern Australia the Whitespotted Spurdog is often found in shallow inshore waters. They feed on small fishes, squid, crustaceans and molluscs. Source : Swainston’s Fishes of Australia |
