Australian angelshark[edit]
... that the Australian angelshark is not easily caught because it usually lies immersed in the sediment on the seabed?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 20:06, 24 September 2013 (UTC).
Article expanded 5X; hook under 200 characters; sufficiently paraphrased from sources. Both the source and the article state that the shark is not easy to catch using line-fishing or netting; the IUCN source mentions that it is vulnerable to catch by trawling, which is omitted from the article. I think the hook is not quite accurate without including the method of catching as a qualifier. Agree? Sasata (talk) 20:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- You just beat me to the review and I was going to state the same thing - I read it as being susceptible to being caught by trawling rather than the interpretation giving in the hook/article. violet/riga [talk] 20:58, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- I have added trawling to the article and suggest this amendment to the hook - Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:59, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
