		The cat sharks or catsharks are a large ((biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera) family (Scyliorhinidae) of (Any of numerous elongate mostly marine carnivorous fishes with heterocercal caudal fins and tough skin covered with small toothlike scales) sharks, with over 110 ((biology) taxonomic group whose members can interbreed) species recorded.
		Cat sharks may be distinguished by their elongated (Feline mammal usually having thick soft fur and being unable to roar; domestic cats; wildcats) cat-like eyes and two small (Unpaired median fin on the backs of fishes and some other aquatic vertebrates that help to maintain balance) dorsal fins set far back.

	Dogfish or Catshark?
		Both are typically smallish (1 to 4 feet or 30 to 120 centimetres), bottom-associated elasmobranchs sharing a similar 'sharky' shape and some of the most familiar forms occur together in coastal habitats.
		Adding to the confusion, some catsharks (especially those of the genus Scyliorhinus) are often referred to as "dogfishes".
		In addition, dogfishes are generally rather drab creatures (gray above, paler below) but many catsharks are boldly and attractively patterned (the back may be marked with any combination of stripes, bars, blotches, and spots — often in various shades of brown, orange, or yellow).

		Size: The largest catsharks reach a length of about five ft, but most are less than 32 in long, and some dwarf species do not exceed a foot in length.
		Catsharks occur in coastal marine waters, from the intertidal to the outer shelf and down the slopes to depths of over 6,600 t.
		Distribution: Catsharks have a vast geographic range in tropical to cold temperate and boreal waters, in all oceans except the Antarctic.

		This is due partly to their nocturnal lifestyle and deep-water habitats; some species are found a depth of more than 2000 m while others can be found in shallow sheltered bays.
		It can be difficult to differentiate between species of catsharks due to similarities in colouring and patterns as well as overlapping ranges with both shallow and deep water species.
		Catsharks can be found in all Australian waters from the far northern tropics to the cold temperate zones south of Tasmania.

		Biology: Filetail catsharks are oviparous, laying relatively large (7-11 cm long), vase-shaped egg cases with long fibrous, coiled tendrils protruding from the anterior and posterior ends.
		Female filetail catsharks lay egg cases throughout the year with no defined reproductive season.
		Filetail catsharks are often incidentally captured in commercial longline and trawl fisheries; no directed fishery exists for this species in the eastern North Pacific.

		Catsharks are relatively small, usually 12 to 39 inches long (30-100 cm), with flat heads and long, catlike eyes.
		When a fish or squid swims nearby, the catshark lunges with its mouth wide open——and makes a quick meal of its prey.

	4. The status of elasmobranch species
		Catsharks are usually small, most are under 80 cm TL and some are full-grown at less than 40 cm TL.
		Because of their small size and deep-water habitat, catsharks are usually of no interest to fisheries, although many are caught as bycatch in bottom trawls or bottom-set longlines.
		The false catshark is a rare, large, deep-water species.

	Oviparous Sharks
		In discussing the advantages of viviparity, Compagno 1990 points out that it is paradoxical that the skates, which are the most speciose order of cartilagious fishes, retained (extended) oviparity.] The gestation time is usually between 6-12 months, but can be much longer for deep sea catsharks which lay their eggs in very cold water, e.g.
		Gestation times much less than 5 months are an indication that eggcases are retained in the uteri before being laid.

		Maturity status and reproductive condition are currently being assessed for several skate and catshark species in an effort to determine size-at-maturity, fecundity, and timing of reproductive events.
		Validation of the periodicity of growth zone deposition patterns observed within vertebrae or other calcified structures is essential to determine the accuracy of age estimates.
		Archived video footage of elasmobranchs taken from remotely-operated vehicles and manned submarine dives in Monterey Bay is being reviewed and related to existing habitat maps of the region to estimate distribution, abundance, species composition, habitat associations, and potential nursery grounds and for deep-water sharks.
