Author: Barbosa du Bocage & de Brito Capello, 1864
FBname: Lowfin gulper shark
Remark: Available evidence suggests that this species refers to the true <i>C. granulosus</i> from off
  Portugal and so must be considered a junior synonym of the latter species. The purported syntype BMNH 1867.7.23.2 is not a type specimen and refers to a separate long-finned species (see Ref. 116740 for available evidence).
Comments: A large deepwater dogfish of the outer continental shelves and upper slopes (Ref. 247).  Feeds on bony fish, small dogfish sharks, squids, and lobsters (Ref. 247).  Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).  Utilized as food fish and as fishmeal (Ref. 247).
