Squalus hawaiiensis, the Hawaiian spurdog, is a dogfish, a member of the family Squalidae, found in waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands, from the surface to 950 m. Its length is up to 75 cm.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Squalus hawaiiensis was once lumped with the shortspine spurdog, but morphological and genetic data showed that the Hawaiian population was distinct from S. mitsukurii individuals from Japan to be considered a distinct species.[3]
