Dawesville Sharks

Dawesville Shark

 

Had this pic texted to me, some friends were catching and releasing over 20 of these off Dawesville a few days ago.

 (not the best pic i know)

Can anyone identify what type of shark?

Idea/question

I know that there are heaps of sharks of the coast of W.A with many of them looking very similar.

My idea/question is why aren't sharks and rays featured in the Fish I.D guide???

Lots of info on there, didn't even realise how many sub species there are.
Photos would still be a good idea I reckon.
