6. Heterodontus philippi ( Heterodontus portusjacksoni )
Port Jackson shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) is a species of shark that is native to the southern half of Australia. It is an epibenthic, oviparous shark that is frequently caught as bycatch in the south-eastern and eastern scale-fish and shark fisheries. The shark has a large, blunt head with prominent forehead ridges and dark brown harness-like markings on a lighter grey-brown body, and can grow up to 1.65 m long. It feeds on hard-shelled mollusks, crustaceans, sea urchins, and fish. The Port Jackson shark is a migratory species, traveling south in the summer and returning north to breed in the winter. The species is believed to have originated somewhere off the coast of South Africa. The shark’s territory is habitually on or near the sea bottom, which is also its feeding area. Rocky environments are the most common habitat, though sandy and muddy ones, as well as seagrass beds, are sometimes used. The shark is easy to identify due to the pattern of harness-like markings that cross the eyes, run along the back to the first dorsal fin, then cross the side of the body, in addition to the spine in front of both dorsal fins.
