Gummy shark Fishing
Mustelus antarcticus
Gummy Sharks, small houndsharks of southern Australia, are named for their blunt, non-serrated teeth. They dwell over sandy bottoms, feeding on squid, crabs, and fish. Highly valued for their flesh, they are popular targets for anglers. Docile and lacking sharp teeth, they are considered safe compared to other sharks.
