Gummy Shark (Mustelus antarcticus)
The Gummy Shark (Mustelus antarcticus) lives for about 16–17 years, with females over the age of five giving birth to an average of 14 pups. Despite its name, the Gummy Shark does have small bluntly-pointed teeth which are ideal for crushing its food which includes small fish, crabs and cephalopods such as squid or octopus. While the Gummy and School Sharks are very similar in shape and size, the former has a pattern of small white spots over a bronze-grey back and a distinctive lateral line. They have flat plate-like teeth for crushing molluscs. This shark provides much of the ‘flake’ used in fish and chip shops
