Bramble shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (241 words) |
 | The bramble shark (Echinorhinus brucus Bonnaterre, 1788) is covered with large, thorn-like denticles, and hence the name "bramble" shark. |
| Bramble sharks have a long cylindrical body covered with large protruding denticles, no anal fin, two small dorsal fins placed far on the back just before the tail, and five pairs of gill slits. |
| The bramble shark is found in the Western Atlantic from Georgia to Maine, Argentina, the Eastern Atlantic from South Africa north to Norway, most of the Mediterranean, Mozambique, the Arabian Sea near Oman, the Indian Ocean of south India and Sri Lanka, the Pacific Ocean near Honshu, Japan, south Australia, and New Zealand. |
