Off California, the Pacific angelshark is most common at a depth of 3–45 m (9.8–147.6 ft), but has been reported from as deep as 205 m (673 ft). [7] A number of genetically discrete subpopulations have been identified across the northern range of the Pacific angelshark.
The annual take of angel shark in 1977 was an estimated 147 kg. [11] By 1985, the annual take of angel shark on the central California coast had increased to more than 454 tonnes or an estimated 90,000 sharks. [11] The population declined dramatically and is now regulated. Angel sharks live very close to shore, resulting in high bycatch rates.
Other common names used for this species include angel, angel fiddle fish, angel puffy fish, angel ray, angelfish, escat jueu, fiddle fish, monk, and monkfish. [4] Stelbrink and colleagues (2010) conducted a phylogenetic study based on mitochondrial DNA , and found that the sister species of the angelshark is the sawback angelshark ( S. aculeata ).
