🐟Nomititis lovulitos

Hexanchus griseus (Bonnaterre, 1788)

O tubarão-albafar (Hexanchus griseus) é uma espécie de tubarão da ordem Hexanchiformes. Pode atingir oito metros de comprimento e chegar a pesar seiscentos quilos. Está associado a habitats marinhos de recife, até 2300 metros de profundidade. Ocorre em zonas subtropicais. Pouco se sabe sobre a espécie, mas é certo que nada, também nos Açores e na Madeira, a uma profundidade não superior a 100m. Essa é uma das evidências de que ainda existe uma vasta área cinzenta no que se sabe do tubarão albafar: não seria de esperar encontrar membros da espécie abaixo dos 100m, mas este tubarão foi filmado a cerca de 1000m de profundidade e há relatos de capturas a 2500m.
