Abstract
The velvet dogfish, Zameus squamulosus, is a poorly known deep water shark, known from the Atlantic, Indian, western, central and south-eastern Pacific Oceans. In this paper, the first record of the velvet dogfish, caught from the eastern North Pacific is reported. The shark, a male 533 mm in total length, was caught by bottom trawl at a depth of 770.7 m off Long Beach, California (33°43′15″N 118°32′14″W), USA.
