Apristurus sibogae (Weber, 1913)

Also calledBlasser Katzenhai (deu) · Bleke kathaai (nld) · máčka sibogská (ces) · Макассарская чёрная кошачья акула (rus)

The pale catshark (Apristurus sibogae) is a rare species of shark belonging to the family Pentanchidae, the deepwater catsharks. The holotype, the only specimen, was found on the Makassar Strait slope at a depth of 655 m (2,149 ft). Its length is around 21 cm (8.3 in), although this measurement was taken from a juvenile specimen. The reproduction of the pale catshark is oviparous.
