Other places where the gummy shark lives include Western Australia through the Bass Strait to Tasmania and northern New South Wales, and on the coast of Japan. They stay in inshore and offshore waters, preferring the sandy bottom of the ocean floor. Younger sharks will form small colonies around southern Australia however, whether or not these are nurseries remains unknown.

They are highly prized by sports fishers for their fighting abilities and the flesh is excellent eating. Giri, K and Hall, K 2015, South Australian Recreational Fishing Survey. Fisheries Victoria Internal Report Series No. 62. Most of the larger gummy sharks arecaught in the southern end of PortPhillip Bay around areas such as theColes Channel near St Leonards, MudIsland, the Simmons Channels outfrom Queenscliff, and the SorrentoChannel. In the middle and northernend of Port Philip Bay gummy sharksare often caught in most of the areaswhere snapper can be expected. InWestern Port they can be caught ina wide variety of shallow and deepwater locations.

There are limited recorded fossils for the genus Mustelus and, therefore, insufficient fossil findings on the species Mustelus ravidus. [2] Ultimately, the genus Mustelus evolved into species presenting either placental viviparity or aplacental viviparity. Thus, all Mustelus produce live young; however, only some possess a placental attachment during gestation (placental viviparity). Conversely, aplacental viviparity indicates the absence of a placental attachment throughout the pregnancy. The grey gummy shark is identified as a placental and viviparous species. Accordingly, Boomer et al. (2012) found that the most recent common ancestor of the placental clade existed earlier prior to those without it (aplacental clade), which suggests that the placental species had undergone a recent divergence. Moreover, the molecular dating conducted by Boomer et al. strongly supports the theory that divergence was an integral factor in speciation in Mustelus. (2012) It is also believed that the recent and rapid speciation in the genus is a factor for its complex taxonomy.

The equipment required to chase these local beasts does not need to be expensive. Is shark healthy protein for humans? Flake is a term used in Australia to indicate the flesh of any of several species of shark, particularly the gummy shark. [1] [2] The term probably arose in the late 1920s when the large-scale commercial shark fishery off the coast of Victoria was established. Until that time, shark was generally an incidental catch rather than a targeted species. In Australia, the species is listed in a special category known as “conservation dependent”, which allows otherwise endangered species to continue to be commercially traded. Moulton, P.M., Walker, T.I. & Saddlier, S.R. 1992. Age and growth studies of Gummy Shark, Mustelus antarcticus Gunther, and School Shark, Galeorhinus galeus (Linnaeus), from Southern Australian Waters. Australian Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research 43(5): 1241-1267.In general, the population distribution of the genus Mustelus, which the grey gummy shark is a part of, requires active swimming and is heavily associated with coastal-benthic (or ground-dwelling) areas. [2] Specifically, the grey gummy shark is endemic to Australia. It is commonly found in continental shelves, particularly the north-west shelf off Western Australia, and usually at the depth range 106–300 metres. [3] [6] This oceanic range is usually referred to as the twilight zone which spans from 200 metres to 1000 metres and is partly or wholly impenetrable by sunlight. Notably, the grey gummy shark is often found in the upper range of the twilight zone. individuals caught in 2017–18 (of which, 922 were kept, Ryan et al 2019). Shore-based catches are unknown Denticles on body lanceolate with 2-5 ridges which extend at least half distance to tips; low interdorsal ridge usually present. They're not considered dangerous to humans, and are often a sought-out species to be observed by divers.
