Etymology: Scyliorhinus: skylion, Greek for dogfish or small shark; rhinus, from rhine (Gr.), rasp, alluding to a shark’s jagged, rasp-like skin. (See ETYFish); torrei: In honor of Cuban zoologist Carlos de la Torre (1858-1950), who recognized this species as new and granted Howell Rivero permission to study and describe it. (See ETYFish).

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Broad rounded snout. Pale brown back and upper sides transversely marked by series of indistinct darker blotches. Finer markings consist of small oval whitish spots, evenly distributed over the whole back and upper sides (Ref. 6032).

Found on the upper continental slope. Little is known of its biology. Oviparous (Ref. 50449).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.3 - 16.2, mean 13 °C (based on 33 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00263 (0.00139 - 0.00497), b=3.21 (3.04 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Fec assumed to be <10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
