Squatina californica Ayres 1859
Description
Squatina californica Ayres, 1859.
Pacific Angel Shark. To 175 cm (68.9 in) TL (Ebert et al. 2013). Clover Point, Vancouver Island (48°24’N, 123°21’W) (King and Surry 2016) to Gulf of California (Bizzarro et al. 2007). Reports from Chile are erroneous (Cailliet et al. 2020), and those from Peru are unlikely (Cornejo et al. 2015). One old, unverifiable record from south-eastern Alaska (Evermann and Goldsborough 1907; Mecklenburg et al. 2002); southern Chile record (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) not verifiable. Co-occurs with Squatina armata (Philippi, 1887) off Peru. Depth: intertidal to 205 m (672 ft) (min.: Carlisle et al. 1960; max.: Robertson and Allen 2008). Previously Torpedo californica Ayres, 1855.
