Hexanchidae (Cow sharks)
Etymology: Hexanchus: hex (Gr.), six; anchus, etymology unclear, perhaps anchos (Gr.), choke or throttle, referring to how six gill openings of H. griseus extend down onto the throat (See ETYFish); nakamurai: In honor of Teng’s colleague Hiroshi Nakamura, Fisheries Experiment Station of the Government-General during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, who illustrated this species as H. griseus in 1936 (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Hiroshi Nakamura was a Japanese ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Vértebras: 155. This slender-bodied shark is readily distinguished from its larger congener (H. griseus) by having a narrower head, relatively larger eyes, 5 large lower comb-shaped anterolateral teeth, a long slender dorsal-caudal space, with distance from the dorsal origin to the upper caudal origin being at least twice the length of the dorsal fin base; with the upper and lower caudal postventral margins forming a strong arch. In life, Color of dorsum a uniform pale brown without a light line extending along the lateral body trunk, the trailing fin edges are white in some specimens and the ventral surface is lighter (Ref. 94780).
Found on continental and island shelves and slopes, occasionally near surface or inshore from 0 to 700 m depth. Feeds on small to medium-sized bony fishes and occassionally on crustaceans. Viviparous, with 13-26 young in a litter (Ref. 125614). Size at birth measures to about 40-43 cm TL (Ref. 94780). It is taken as bycatch within its range, but is not commercially important (Ref. 125614). Utilized for its fins, meat and liver oil but of little value due to its relatively small size (Ref. 58048).
