Template:Sharksportal The narrowmouthed catshark, Schroederichthys bivius, is a cat shark of the family Scyliorhinidae found from central Chile around the Straits of Magellan to Argentina between latitudes 23° S and 56° S, at depths of between 15 and 80 m. Its length is up to 70 cm.
The narrowmouthed catshark is a harmless common inshore to offshore shark found on the continental shelf. Dental sexual dimorphism exists, with adult males having teeth at least twice as high as adult females as well as much longer and narrower mouths.
Reproduction is oviparous.
