Very similar in appearance to Mustelus manazowhich is found onAustralia’s Northwest Shelf. Also similar to the New Zealand species Mustelus lenticulatus. A fundamental difference between the two processes is that the IUCN Red List assessment is a global assessment and may be influenced heavily by population declines outside Australian waters.” Flake is a term used in Australia to indicate the flesh of any of several species of shark, particularly the gummy shark. [1] [2] The term probably arose in the late 1920s when the large-scale commercial shark fishery off the coast of Victoria was established. Until that time, shark was generally an incidental catch rather than a targeted species. Endemic to eastern and southern Australia from off Hinchinbrook Island, to Geraldton, Western Australia, including Tasmania. Commonwealth – Recreational The Australian Government does not manage recreational fishing in Commonwealth waters. Recreational fishing in Commonwealth waters is managed by the state or territory immediately adjacent to those waters, under its management regulations. Commonwealth – Indigenous The Australian Government does not manage non-commercial Indigenous fishing in Commonwealth waters, with the exception of the Torres Strait. In general, non-commercial Indigenous fishing in Commonwealth waters is managed by the state or territory immediately adjacent to those waters.

The gummy shark is primarily found living on the southern coast of Australia around Bunbury including but not limited to the island of Tasmania and the Bass Strait. [6] Gummy sharks are also found in coastal areas of the Pacific Ocean such as Japan, as well as coastal areas of the Indian Ocean. [7] Reproductive tendencies [ edit ] Walker, Terence I.
