The Freckled Catshark (Scyliorhinus haeckelii) is a small (to 57 cm total length) shark that occurs in the Southwest Atlantic from Bahia, Brazil to northern Argentina. It inhabits the continental shelf and upper slope at depths of 37-402 m, and is often associated with deep-water reefs. This catshark is captured in artisanal and commercial trawl, gillnet, and longline fisheries, and is increasingly retained and sometimes targeted. Fishing pressure is present across its range and is intense in some places, however there are very few data on its catchability and level of interaction with fisheries. Association with deepsea corals indicates that it may have some refuge from trawls over untrawlable areas. Since it is unknown if fishing is causing a population reduction, there is currently inadequate information available to assess the Freckled Catshark beyond Data Deficient.Fil: Pollom, R..

It reaches a maximumsize of 57 cm total length (TL); females mature at 41.5 cm TL and males at 35.3 cm TL (Soares et al.2016). Reproduction is oviparous and little else is known of its biology.Systems:  MarineUse and TradeThis species is increasingly retained for its meat and is sometimes targeted when catches of other targetspecies are low (Rincon et al. 2017). Shark meat imports are on the rise in Brazil (Dent and Clarke 2015),and this species may be included.Threats (see Appendix for additional information)This catshark is captured in artisanal and commercial trawl, gillnet, and longline fisheries, and isincreasingly retained and sometimes targeted (Rincon et al. 2017). Fishing pressure is present across itsrange and is intense in some places, however there are very few data on catchability. Perez and Wahrlich(2005) reported that >4,000 individuals were caught in gillnets over one season of observation.Association with deepsea corals indicates that it may have refuge from trawls over untrawlable areas.With current data it is not possible to ascertain the level of fisheries mortality that this catshark isexposed to.Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information)There are no species-specific protections or conservation measures in place for this catshark. Furtherresearch is needed on life history and population size and trends, and fisheries should be monitored forbycatch at the species level.CreditsAssessor(s): Pollom, R., Barreto, R., Charvet, P., Chiaramonte, G.E., Cuevas, J.M., Herman,K., Montealegre-Quijano, S., Motta, F., Paesch, L. & Rincon, G.Reviewer(s): Dulvy, N.K. & Kyne, P.M.Facilitator(s) andCompiler(s):Kyne, P.M., Pollom, R., Charvet, P. & Dulvy, N.K.Authority/Authorities: IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group (sharks and rays)© The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Scyliorhinus haeckelii – published in 2020.https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2020-3.RLTS.T130394197A2996872.en4BibliographyDent, F. and Clarke, S. 2015.
