Pseudotriakis is false-Triakis; but catsharks are Scyliorhinidae. So how did this become known as the false catshark rather than, say, the false houndshark?
I'm not sure what policy is, to be honest; it just feels a bit strange to me :-). I'll leave it up to whatever your normal practice is.

"The dermal denticles are shaped like arrowheads with a central ridge, and are sparsely on the skin." - not quite sure what this is trying to say. They're sparsely distributed?
"In Okinawa, its oil is traditionally used to seal the hulls of wooden fishing boats." - the article generally implies that this shark isn't caught very frequently, and that it's only caught by accident. If there's a specific traditional use, does this imply it's more commonly caught in Okinawa?
Otherwise, I think that's about it! I've made some small changes to prose to (IMO) make it read a bit smoother, but feel free to change them back if you object.

Might one enquire as to why this particular fish is characterised as a "sofa" shark? The article includes no such exposition, and the reason is not obvious to me.
