Nobody knows what the exact species of shark is - yet.
scientist at Flinders University in Australia, also agreed with Finucci's identification and that the animal was most likely a gulper shark.Dean Grubbs, associate director of research at the Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory, told the species appears to be Centroscymnus owstoni, also called the roughskin dogfish.
"In my deep-sea research, we have caught quite a few of them in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Bahamas." Christopher Lowe's explanation, professor and director of the California State University Long Beach Shark Lab is also quite different. "Looks to me like a deepwater kitefin shark, which are known in the waters off Australia," he said, though he noted he could not see the whole body or size of the shark.
"It looks like Dalatias lata to me; however, we discover new species of deepwater shark all the time and many look very similar to each other."
