Kelvin 2,200 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Technically, I guess any of the Family Hexanchidae could be refered to as 'ground sharks' or 'cow sharks'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_sharkhttp://www.fishnames.com.au/fishnames/fishnames.php?pid=85The Broadnose seven gill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus) is the one most commonly caught commercially and recreationally. However the Sharpnose Sevengill Shark, (Heptranchias perlo) is occasionally sold commercially. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
