These sharks tend to reside in coastal and continental shelf waters of southern Australia. While they're not known to be aggressive, they are potentially dangerous to humans. Grey nurse shark Assistant minister for trade, Tim Ayres, said Australia was home to a “world-class seafood industry” and consumers “should have the information they need to confidently buy high-quality fresh produce.” We are appalled.

Reproduction:Gummy sharks reach reproductive maturity at 4-5 years of age, with males maturing at a smaller size than females. Females are ovoviviparous. Litters usually comprise of about 14 pups, but large females have been recorded producing up to 57 pups. Gummy shark are born during the summer months after an 11‑12 month gestation period. a b c d e f g h i j k l White, W. T; Last, P. R (2006). "Description of two new species of smooth-hounds, Mustelus widodoi and Mustelus ravidus (Carcharhiniformes: Triakidae) from the western central Pacific". Cybium. 30 (3): 235–246.Like several other species of sharks, these sharks have counter-shaded coloring, i.e., their upperside is darkly colored to make it hard to spot them from above, while their underside is much lighter, making them more challenging to identify from below. This has led to the gummy shark having very few predators, with only the broadnose gill shark preying on juvenile specimens regularly. Interactions with humans Russo EB. (2011). Taming THC: Potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects.

The gummy shark is primarily found living on the southern coast of Australia around Bunbury including but not limited to the island of Tasmania and the Bass Strait. [6] Gummy sharks are also found in coastal areas of the Pacific Ocean such as Japan, as well as coastal areas of the Indian Ocean. [7] Reproductive tendencies [ edit ] Make the Buttercream Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter at medium speed for 1 minute or until creamy. Decrease the speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat for about 3 minutes or until well mixed and fluffy. Add milk or cream if needed to thin the frosting to a piping consistency. Divide the frosting in half, and use food coloring to tint half of the frosting blue, and the other half teal green. Boag said the consumer watchdog, the ACCC, was clear that customers can not be misled and if three quarters of the flake being sold failed to meet the standard “then we think that’s misleading customers.” The Australian grey smooth-hound or also known as the grey gummy shark (Latin Mustelus ravidus, meaning ‘greyish weasel’) is a species of houndshark classified under the large family Triakidae. It is one of the twenty-eight species belonging to the genus Mustelus, which are often small in length. [1] While members of the genus Mustelus may be found globally in tropical and temperate waters, [2] the grey gummy shark in particular is native to the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean waters surrounding Australia and is particularly widespread in deep coastal waters. The grey gummy sharkis known to be a viviparous species and gives birth to live young. With little data available, it is regarded to have a relatively stable population and possesses little threat to humans. She said it was “horrifying” to know that critically endangered species were being sold as flake, but said the fish and chip shops had likely bought the fillets without being aware of its true origins.

[12] Gummy shark meat is often marketed as " flake" in southern Australia. Their boneless fillets have made them particularly popular within the fish and chips industry throughout Australia. [1] Although gummy sharks have not been over-fished, they inhabit many of the same areas as school (snapper) sharks which have an established bycatch quota. This means fishers targeting gummy shark cannot have an adverse impact on the school shark population. [2] Due to new fishing gear, the growth rate of gummy sharks between three and seven years of age have decreased. However, gummy sharks around the age of two are least affected by fisheries. [13] This species is also of least concern in terms of endangerment according to the IUCN Red List, which is an extensive list of species that organizes where they fall on the endangered scale from "least concern" (LC) to "extinct" (EX). [1] According to SharkSmart, roughly one hundred gummy sharks are tagged with internal acoustic tags in Western Australia to yield information about possible migration and travel habits. [4]
