What is another word for scyliorhinidae?
Pronunciation: [sˈa͡ɪli͡əhˌɪnɪdˌiː] (IPA) 
Scyliorhinidae is a family of sharks commonly known as catsharks due to their cat-like eyes and slender bodies. There are a few synonyms used for this family of sharks, such as dogfish, kindergarten sharks, and nursehound. The term dogfish is often used interchangeably with catsharks, but it may also be used to refer to other shark species. Kindergarten sharks are a nickname for catsharks, probably because of their small size and docile nature. Nursehound is another synonym for catsharks, particularly the larger species from the genus Scyliorhinus, which are often used for their liver oil. These terms all refer to the same family of sharks that are found in all oceans of the world.
