Locally, this species may also be referred to as angel shark, California angel shark, or monkfish. [3] The Chilean angelshark (Squatina armata) of the southeastern Pacific was synonymized with this species by Kato, Springer and Wagner in 1967, but was later tentatively recognized as a separate species again by Leonard Compagno.
Pacific angel shark pups are born from March to June in deep water; generally 180 to 300 feet (55 and 90 metres); possibly to protect the pups from predators. [6] Angel sharks usually reside in depths of 1–200 metres (3.3–656.2 ft) and can be seen on muddy or soft benthic substrata where they can easily blend in as they lie in wait.
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 ).
