Description: Drawing of this small species, its description and information on its range.
CAT SHARKS. FAMILY SCYLIORHINIDAE Figure 9A.—Chain dogfish ( ), male, about 17 inches long, New Jersey. After Bigelow and Schroeder. The chain-like pattern of narrow black stripes with which the reddish-brown back and sides of this little shark are marked are so distinctive that there is no likelihood of confusing it with any other shark. We need only add that its first dorsal fin stands wholly behind the rear ends of the bases of its pelvic fins; that its second dorsal fin is about one-half as large in area as its first dorsal fin; that its tail fin is square-tipped and occupies only about one-fifth of the length of the fish; and that its teeth are similar in the two jaws, narrow-triangular with a small secondary cusp on either side.
