Abstract

A single specimen (192 cm total length, TL) of the Pacific sleeper shark, Somniosus pacificus, belonging to the family Somniosidae, order Squaliformes, was firstly collected from the west margin of the East Sea, Korea in February 2008. This specimen was characterized by having interdorsal space, being less than the distance between the snout and first gill opening; and the distance between the snout and first dorsal fin origin more than 45% TL; head and body has overall dark brownish. The new Korean name "Jam-sang-eo-gwa" is proposed for the family Somniosidae, and "Jam-sang-eo-sok" for the genus Somniosus, and "Jat-bit-jam-sang-eo" for the species S. pacificus.

돔발상어목 Somniosidae에 속하는 Somniosus pacificus 1개체가 2008년 2월 강원도 강릉해역에서 채집되었다. 본 종은 두 등지느러미 사이의 길이가 주둥이에서 첫 번째 새열까지의 길이보다 짧으며, 주둥이에서 첫 번째 등지느러미 사이의 길이가 전장의 45%를 넘고 몸은 전체적으로 잿빛을 띠는 특징을 가진다. 우리나라에서 처음 보고되는 본 종의 새로운 과명, 속명 및 종명으로 "잠상어과", "잠상어속" 및 "잿빛잠상어"를 제안한다.
