Template:Sharksportal The Australian sawtail catshark, Galeus boardmani, is a cat shark of the family Scyliorhinidae found from Carnarvon, Western Australia to Noosa, Queensland, at depths of between 130 and 825 m. Its length is up to 61 cm.
The Australian sawtail catshark is a little-known but common Australian catshark found on the outer continental shelf and upper slope, presumably on or near the bottom. It feeds mainly on fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods, and appears to aggregate by sex.
Coloration is three broad dark saddles in front of the first dorsal fin, about as wide as an eye diameter or wider.
