🦈Gummy shark
O cação-antártico (português brasileiro) ou cação-antárctico (português europeu) (Mustelus antarcticus) é uma espécie de tubarão do gênero Mustelus, da família Triakidae. Esses tubarões, de pequeno a médio porte e de hábitos bentônicos, são encontrados principalmente — embora não exclusivamente — nas regiões ao redor dos mares do sul da Austrália. São comumente capturados com iscas e pescados para fins culinários, em razão de seu sabor apreciado e de seus valores atrativos no mercado.
