Of the 61 females sampled, 34% were gravid, showing an absolute individual fecundity of two to ten embryos (pups). The results clearly indicated that this deepwater shark spawns in the Portuguese waters off Madeira archipelago.engCentrophorus squamosus (Bonnaterre, 1788)FecundidadeTubarão de Águas ProfundasDeepwater SharkFecundityMadeira ArchipelagoAspects of the biology of the leaf‐scale gulper shark Centrophorus squamosus (Bonnaterre, 1788) off Madeira archipelagojournal article
