Squalomorphi[1] is a superorder of cartilaginous fishes, generally characterized by lacking traits such as an anal fin, nictitating membrane, or suborbital shelves in the cranium. Squalomorphii sharks are also called squalea, or squalean sharks. There are about 163 living species in 11 families. Squalean sharks are divided into five orders: the Echinorhiniformes, Hexanchiformes, Squaliformes, Squatiniformes, and Pristiophoriformes.
