A general name for a genus of the family Heptranchias in the order Heptranchidae, or the name of one of its species. The sharpnose sevengill shark, H. perlo , is the only known species in the Heptranchias genus. The sharpnose sevengill shark has one dorsal fin and seven pairs of gill slits, and is the same as the sharpnose sevengill shark, which belongs to the same family, but the sharpnose sevengill shark can be distinguished by its sharp snout and uniform body color (the sharpnose shark has a round snout and a spotted body). It mainly lives on the deep sea floor at a depth of about 400 meters, but can sometimes be seen in coastal areas. It reproduces viviparously and gives birth to about 20 young. It is found in the Pacific Ocean south of Hokkaido and the Sea of Japan in the waters near Japan, but is distributed in the deep seas of tropical waters all over the world. It grows to about 1.4 meters in length and is used as an ingredient in paste products. It is listed as Near Threatened (NT) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (as of September 2021).

軟骨魚綱カグラザメ目カグラザメ科の属の総称、またはその1種の名称。エドアブラザメ属HeptranchiasにはエドアブラザメH. perlo(英名sharpnose sevengill shark)1種のみが知られている。エドアブラザメは背びれが1基で、鰓孔(さいこう)が7対(つい)あり、同科に属するエビスザメも同じ特徴をもつが、エドアブラザメは吻(ふん)がとがっていること、体色が一様であることなどで区別できる(エビスザメは吻が丸く、体にぶち模様がある)。おもに水深400メートル内外の深海底に生息するが、ときに沿岸域などにもみられる。生殖方法は胎生で20尾ほどの子を産む。日本近海では北海道以南の太平洋や日本海にみられるが、全世界の温熱帯海域の深海部に分布する。全長1.4メートルほどになり、練り製品の原料となる。国際自然保護連合(IUCN)のレッド・リストでは、準絶滅危惧(きぐ)(NT)に指定されている(2021年9月時点)。 [仲谷一宏 2021年10月20日] [参照項目] | |©大片忠明"> サメのおもな種類(3)〔標本画〕 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
