Dumb gulper shark
The dumb gulper shark, ''Centrophorus harrissoni'', is a rare and endangered deepwater dogfish, known from only along the east coast of Australia and isolated spots north and west of New Zealand. It is also known as the dumb shark, Harrison's deep-sea dogfish, or Harrison's dogfish.〔
==Characteristics==
The dumb gulper shark may grow to be long and has a long, robust head, a long, flattened snout, a large mouth, and large, green eyes, which help it see at 820 to 1260 ft (250 to 385 m) under water.〔White, W.T., Ebert, D.A. and Compagno, L.J.V. (2008) Description of two new species of gulper sharks, genusCentrophorus (Chondrichthyes: Squaliformes: Centrophoridae) from Australia. In: Last, P.R., White, W.T. and Pogonoski, J.J. (Eds.) Descriptions of New Australian Chondrichthyans. CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Paper No. 022, CSIRO, Australia.〕 The body is slender and of moderate size, and is grey to greyish-brown in colour, with a paler underside. Of the two dorsal fins, the first is larger than the second, and each has a short spine, a white rear margin, and a dark blotch towards the front, which is more distinct in juveniles.〔 The large caudal fin is asymmetrical, with a longer upper than lower lobe.〔
The broad teeth of this species differ between the upper and lower jaws, with the lower teeth being much larger. The teeth also differ between the male and female, with the male having much more erect, upright upper teeth, and upward-curving tips on the lowers.〔 The dumb gulper shark is very similar in appearance to the closely related little gulper shark.
