FBname: Spadenose shark
Comments: Found on rocky substrates of coastal waters and lower reaches of tropical rivers (Ref. 244).  It is uncertain, however, if this species can live in perfectly fresh water for extended periods (Ref. 244).  Forms large schools (Ref. 244).  Adults feed on small bony fishes, shrimps and cuttlefish (Ref. 244).  Viviparous (Ref. 50449).  Common by-catch of the inshore demersal gillnet fisheries, particularly those operating off Kalimantan (Ref.58048). Utilized fresh for human consumption; processed into fishmeal and used as bait for other sharks and bony fishes (Ref. 244).  Maximum sizes up to 120 cm unconfirmed (Ref. 244).
