Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) > Carcharhiniformes (Ground sharks) > Triakidae (Houndsharks) > Triakinae
Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN] (See ETYFish); widodoi: In honor of the late Johannes Widodo (1944-2005), Research Institute of Marine Fisheries (Jakarta, Indonesia), “whose research on the shark and ray fisheries of Indonesia has provided important baseline data for this important faunal region” (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Johannes A O Widodo (d: 1944) is a biologist at the Research Institute of Marine Fisheries, Jakarta, Indonesia, and has done much work on the shark and ray fisheries of Indonesia. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This moderately sized species is characterized by the following: low preanal length to anal-caudal space, 7.1-8.7, and to dorsal-caudal space, 5.3-6 ratios; moderately large dorsal fins, upright, base length of first dorsal 1.3-1.5 times anal-caudal space; claspers of adult males terminating well short of anal-fin origin; about 73/69 rows of teeth, exposed evenly around symphysis of lower jaw when mouth is closed; 86-89 precaudal vertebrae centra, 33-35 monospondylous centra; first dorsal fin with a broad white margin; apex of second dorsal fin with a distinct black margin; terminal caudal lobe with distinct black tip (Ref. 72460).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00224 (0.00104 - 0.00482), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (65 of 100).
