Elasmobranch ID game

Since no one else is going at it
its a Cirrhoscyllium expolitum since me thinks me see a barbel

 

[Crumbs]

Close but it is not a Barbelthroat Carpetshark (C. expolitum). This Cirrhoscyllium is only found in southwest Japan.

That only leaves one then lol (even though I swear there is a barbel in that pic lol).
Its Cirrhoscyllium japonicus
(I think that's how you spell it)

 

[Crumbs]

Matter of fact the Barbelthroat Carpetshark and the Saddled Carpetshark (C. japonicum) both have paired barbels on their throats. Good observation and you did get the species right this time

Ok I didn't realize that japonicus also had barbels.
