The Centrophorus granulosus, commonly known as sagrì or the common center-fish (centroforo), is a deep-water shark belonging to the family Centrophoridae. Adults typically reach a maximum length of about 150 cm. The body is fusiform and elongated, with a depressed snout. It is characterized by large elliptical green eyes, typical of abyssal species. Its skin is extremely rough, covered with non-overlapping dermal denticles. Historically, this skin (called zigrino) was highly valued in cabinetmaking for its abrasive properties. It possesses two dorsal fins, each preceded by a sturdy spine. It lacks an anal fin. Coloration ranges from gray-brown in juveniles to gray-purple in adults, with a lighter ventral side. It is a benthic species that lives along continental shelves. It is generally found between 200 and 600 meters, but can reach depths beyond 1400 meters. It is widespread in almost all temperate and tropical oceans, including the Mediterranean Sea. It is a carnivorous predator that feeds mainly on teleost fishes (such as anchovies and lanternfish), squid, and crustaceans. It is an ovoviviparous species, meaning eggs hatch inside the maternal body. It has slow growth and high longevity. l 18.5 cm, h 15.5 cm, p 5.5 cm.
