The dwarf gulper shark (Centrophorus atromarginatus) is a dogfish of the family Centrophoridae found in the Indo-West Pacific oceans, from the Gulf of Aden, Japan, Taiwan, and northern Papua New Guinea. As a Squaliform, Centrophorus atromarginatus has high amounts of Squalene in its liver, and it is fished for this resource. It is a deep-water fish, whose habitat is in bathydemersal waters.[2]
