Tbe maximum postfeeding metabolic rate averaged 2.3 times SMR, and the entire duration of the response was approximately 12 h.
The overall pattern and magnitude of tbe postfeeding response is similar to those previously reported for tbe small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula; Scyliorhinidae) and for many teleosts.
The return to a prefeeding metabolic rate appears to be much more rapid in tbe swellshark than in the small-spotted catshark.

The true catsharks, Scyliorhinidae, includes a host of small (most less than 80 cm long) cat-eyed, harmless sharks, found on or near the bottom in almost all seas from the intertidal to below 2000 m depth on the continental and insular slopes.
This is by far the largest carcharhinoid family in number of genera and species and is the largest family of sharks.
This is a small mostly deepwater family of small-sized to dwarf, harmless, temperate to tropial sharks, close to the catsharks (Scyliorhinidae) but differing in their anterior first dorsal fins.

Those families with the largest number of Australian species are the dogfish family Squalidae (40 species), the catshark family Scyliorhinidae (32 species) and the whaler family Carcharhinidae (30 species).
All sharks have internal fertilisation, with males possessing claspers - modifications of the pelvic fins - for sperm transfer.
A few sharks, such as the Port Jackson shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) and cat sharks (Scyliorhinidae), lay eggs with horny shells (the spiralled case of the Port Jackson (right) is often washed up on our southern beaches).

This cement is produced by fusion of large numbers of ovoid secretory bodies of a single type, characterised by the presence of several electron-lucent spherical subunits within the electrondense matrix of each secretory body.
Basally the columns broaden and abut correspondingly broad columns of lower electron-density derived from the interstitial sub-tegumentary material.

He recorded one species of the family Chlamydoselachidae, six species of the family Scyliorhinidae, 15 species of the family Squalidae and one species each of the families Scymnorhinidae and Echinorhinidae.
It is probable that in assessing the relative importance of shark species to fisheries, the deep-water catsharks (Scyliorhinidae) and many small, deep-benthic and oceanic dogfish (Squalidae) fall into the category of 'minimal catch species' (Compagno 1990).
However, although the landings may be minimal in terms of all shark species, the discarded catch in the new and developing fisheries on the continental slopes and seamounts is probably quite considerable.

Thankfully, the marine parasites on her desk (safely behind glass, swimming in alcohol) in Professor Charles Griffiths's laboratory are a lot smaller, some even microscopic.
These have been gathered from a group of catsharks (Scyliorhinidae) she is studying.
