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); whitneyi: In honor of American fisheries biologist Richard R. Whitney (1927-2011), for his teachings and guidance during the author’s study of sharks. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.6 - 15.6, mean 15 °C (based on 15 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): 3.7 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Fec=4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (55 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 33.5 [9.6, 163.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.511 [0.154, 1.840] mg/100g; Protein = 21 [19, 23] %; Omega3 = 0.0958 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 83 [22, 289] μg/100g; VitaminA = 13.1 [5.0, 32.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.954 [0.422, 1.897] mg/100g (wet weight);
