Habitat and Distribution: bathydemersal, occurs along upper continental and insular slopes on or near the bottom at depths of 200 to 1,500 m . Eastern Atlantic, from Iceland to South Africa and scattered distribution throughout the Indo –Pacific and eastern South Pacific from coast off of Chile . Vulnerability: LC (IUCN), VHV (FishBase).

One specimen recorded in the South Pacific Ocean. Vulnerability: DD (IUCN), HV (FishBase). Somniosus rostratus (Risso, 1827) —Little sleeper shark 17 specimens were caught at depths between 822 and 1,119 m . Length data were recorded for all specimens ranging from 76 to 126 cm TL, with males between 76 and 106 cm (N=7) and females between 89 and 126 cm (N=10). Habitat and Distribution: outer continental shelves and upper slopes, occurring on or near the bottom at depths between 180 and 2,200 m . Eastern Atlantic: France , Portugal , and Madeira Islands, and the western Mediterranean Sea. Western Central Atlantic: possibly off Cuba . Vulnerability: DD (IUCN), VHV (FishBase).
