The Dumb Gulper Shark (Centrophorus harrissoni) is a rare and critically endangered deep water dogfish. It is found only along the east coast of Australia and isolated spots north and west of New Zealand. The population is unknown but numbers have decreased as much as 99% in some areas since the 1970s. Action is being taken to preserve this type of shark, which includes being incorporated into the
Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC).
