Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN]. (See ETYFish);  ravidus: Latin for grayish, referring to its pale-gray dorsal coloration. (See ETYFish).

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This species is moderately-sized with the following set of characters: high preanal length to anal-caudal space (9.6-10.5), to dorsal-caudal space (6.1-6.8) ratios; dorsal fins are large, slightly raked back, base length of first dorsal fin (0.8-1) times anal-caudal space; claspers of adult males are relatively long with outer length about 10% TL, terminating only slightly short of anal fin origin; teeth in about 77/73 rows, exposed to a greater extent around symphysis of lower jaw when mouth closed; 90-91 precaudal vertebral centra; 35-37 monospondylous centra; narrow white tip and thin pale margin on first dorsal fin, distinct dusky tip on second dorsal fin and distinct black tip on terminal caudal lobe (Ref. 72460).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.4 - 22.1, mean 19.9 °C (based on 22 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00224 (0.00105 - 0.00478), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary low fecundity).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100).
