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); exsanguis: ex (L.), out of; sanguis (L.), blood, i.e., bloodless or lifeless, referring to its characteristic pale coloration and flaccid body (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00347 (0.00171 - 0.00701), 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) |
4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec assumed to be <10). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Moderate vulnerability (43 of 100). 🛈 |
