| Mustelus griseus Pietschmann, 1908 |
The spotless smooth-hound, Mustelus griseus, is a houndshark of the family Triakidae, found on the continental shelves of the tropical northwest Pacific from Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Viet Nam between latitudes 40° N and 11° N, from the surface to 300 m. Its length is up to 1 m.
The spotless smooth-hound is an inshore bottom-dwelling shark which also dwells in semi-enclosed sea areas with sand bottom. It probably feeds on benthic invertebrates, especially crustaceans.
Reproduction is viviparous.
