ABSTRACT
Schroederichthys chilensis, the redspotted catshark or chilean catshark, is an endemic species to Peruvian and Chilean waters. Observations on its behavior in the National Reserve System of Guano Islands, Islets, and Capes - Punta San Juan and Paracas National Reserve reveal that it curls when threatened. This hypothesized survival strategy has not been previously documented in this species and we recommend further studies to elucidate this behavior.
RESUMEN
Schroederichthys chilensis, tiburón gato o tollo gato, es una especie endémica de las aguas peruanas y chilenas. Observaciones sobre su comportamiento en el medio natural de la Reserva Nacional Sistema de Islas, Islotes y Puntas Guaneras - Punta San Juan y Reserva Nacional de Paracas, revelan que se enroscan ante la presencia de peligro inminente. Esta estrategia de sobrevivencia no ha sido documentada para esta especie y se sugiere la realización de estudios que permitan conocer más sobre este comportamiento.
