Etymology: Apristurus: a-, Latin privative, i.e., without; pristis, from pristes (Gr.), sawyer (but here meaning saw); oura (Gr.), tail, referring to absence of saw-toothed crest of enlarged dermal denticles along upper edge of caudal fin as found in the closely related Pristiurus (=Galeus). (See ETYFish);  parvipinnis: parvus (L.), small; pinnis (L.), fin, referring to first dorsal fin 2-4 times smaller than second dorsal fin. (See ETYFish).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecologia

marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica 600 - 1380 m (Ref. 44037).   Deep-water; 30°N - 6°N

Western Atlantic: northeastern Gulf of Mexico off Florida, Gulf of Campeche, Panama, Colombia, and off French Guiana. Had been originally termed Apristurus indicus by Springer (1966) but apparently not conspecific with the Indian Ocean species.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Second dorsal fin distinctly larger than the first (Ref. 13608).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 5.2 - 10.4, mean 6.4 (based on 83 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00176 - 0.00714), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Fec assumed to be <10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
