The kitefin shark, seal shark, or black shark, Dalatias licha, is a dogfish, the only species in the genus Dalatias, found in the Atlantic, western Mediterranean, western Indian Ocean, and western Pacific including Japan, Australia, Hawaii, and New Zealand.
Most of those caught are between 40 and 60 inches long; 72 inches is the longest recorded so far. A Gulf of Maine specimen was about 5 feet long and weighed 23½ pounds, gutted.
A study of an albino specimen included this sample group...
Total weight (in grams): 3351, 3275, 3415, 3407, 3041, 3442, 3257, 3208, 3216, 3417, 3320, 3427, 2941, 3319, 3560, 2679, 3428, 3311
This shark is a solitary, epibenthic species found in tropical and warm-temperate regions. They are most commonly found in the deepest shelf and upper slope waters, usually at depths of 656-1,970 feet (200-600 m), but have been taken from depths of 121-5,900 feet (37-1,800 m). It hovers above the seabed, swimming well off the bottom.
