名古屋港ってサメそんなにいないんだよなぁと斜に構えながら行くと、カスザメとコロザメの共演にひれ伏す

The Japanese angelshark (Squatina japonica) is a species of angelshark (family Squatinidae) found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean off China, Japan, and Korea. It is a bottom-dwelling shark found in sandy habitats down to 300 m (980 ft) deep. This species has the flattened shape with wing-like pectoral and pelvic fins typical of its family, and grows to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) or more in length. Feeding on fishes, cephalopods, and crustaceans, the Japanese angelshark is a nocturnal ambush predator that spends most of the day lying still on the sea floor. This species gives birth to live young; the litter size varies from two to 10. It is not dangerous to humans unless provoked.

Japanese Angelsharks Squatina japonica are bottom-dwelling sharks found in the Pacific Ocean off the coasts of China, Japan, and Korea. These sharks live in sandy ocean bottoms down to almost 300 meters. Japanese Angelsharks are nocturnal ambush predators, and spend most of their day lying still on the seafloor. They eat any fish, cephalopod, or crustacean that comes too close to their hiding spot. These flat sharks are currently listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List because of bottom trawling in these areas. Japanese Angelsharks are a slow growing species that spends its days sleeping on the ocean floor. Bottom trawls pose a huge threat to these animals because they destroy their habitat, and catch the angel sharks as by-catch in the fishing gear.

写りは悪いけど普段みられないカスザメをみられて嬉しかった

ダイバーさんが掘り出してくれました

The photos are not very good quality, but I am glad to see so many cute moments of angelsharks. They are usually sleeping in the sand. The divers dug them out!
