Etymology: Eridacnis: Etymology not explained, possibly eri-, Greek intensive particle (i.e., very), and dakno (Gr.), bite, referring to “wide, angular” mouth of E. radcliffei (See ETYFish); barbouri: In honor of American herpetologist (and wealthy patron of science) Thomas Barbour (1884-1946), Director, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, for the “constant assistance” he gave the authors in their studies of western North Atlantic sharks (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Thomas Barbour (1884–1946) was an American zoologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 8.3 - 14.6, mean 10.6 °C (based on 47 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6328   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00288 (0.00112 - 0.00741), b=3.15 (2.92 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.8   ±0.60 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Fec=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100). 🛈
