Slender smooth-hound variety of benthic fishes and invertebrates, and also scavenges; human garbage has been reported among its stomach contents. Small bony fishes, lanternfishes in particular, are the most important prey type, followed by decapod crustaceans. Cephalopods, gastropods, isopods, brittle stars, dogfish sharks, and cartilaginous fish egg capsules may also be consumed. On the Challenger Plateau, cephalopods are an important food source for juveniles under long. Like the false catshark, the slender smooth-hound exhibits aplacental viviparity with oophagy, in a form different from that in the mackerel sharks. Mature females have a single functional ovary, on the right side, and two functional
Smooth scheme only if the morphism "X" → Spec "k" is smooth. A smooth scheme over a field is regular and hence normal. In particular, a smooth scheme over a field is reduced. Define a variety over a field "k" to be an integral separated scheme of finite type over "k". Then any smooth separated scheme of finite type over "k" is a finite disjoint union of smooth varieties over "k". For a smooth variety "X" over the complex numbers, the space "X"(C) of complex points of "X" is a complex manifold, using the classical (Euclidean) topology. Likewise, for a smooth variety
