Shark or no shark?

Do we have any experts on marine biology on the forum?

Is this a shark - or not a shark?

Re: Shark or no shark?

My uncle over in CA is a Marine Biologist and a senior lecturer of Marine Biology/Oceanography at UCLA.

It is a shark, and as Hayley Upham has said, a Starry Smoothound Shark (Mustelus asterias) or simply known as 'Hounds' in the angling community.

Def a shark. I am not sure of the species though. Possibly a large dog fish?
