The blacktip sawtail catshark (Galeus sauteri) is a species of catshark, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae, found off the coasts of ****** and the Philippines. It is demersal in nature and occurs deeper than 60 m (200 ft). Growing up to 46 cm (18 in) long, this slim-bodied species is characterized by its plain brownish dorsal coloration with dark tips on the dorsal and caudal fins, and a prominent crest of enlarged dermal denticles on the upper edge of the caudal fin. It is oviparous, with females producing encapsulated eggs two at a time year-round. The blacktip sawtail catshark is caught incidentally in bottom trawls and used for fishmeal in ******. However, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) currently lacks enough information to assess its conservation status.
