Description

A relatively small and poorly known species, the bluegrey carpetshark (Brachaelurus colcloughi) is a bottom-dwelling shark that is rarely seen. It was discovered by James Ogilby in 1908, who named this attractive shark after his friend, Mr. Colclough. The bluegrey carpetshark is one of only two species in the family Brachaeluridae, also known as the blind sharks.

The juvenile bluegrey carpetshark has a whitish body with conspicuous black markings. These markings slowly fade as it develops into an adult, resulting in a brownish appearance. The adult bluegrey carpetshark has a partially flattened head with two distinctive barbels which hang down either side of its tiny mouth
