The slender catshark, Schroederichthys tenuis, is a cat shark of the family Scyliorhinidae found on the upper continental slope off Suriname and the Amazon River mouth in Brazil, at depths of between 70 and 410 m. Its length is up to 70 cm.
The slender catshark is an oviparous animal, which is to say that it lays eggs with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians and reptiles, all birds, the monotremes, and most insects and arachnids.
