Type locality of Squatina varii, continental slope of Esp´ırito Santo state. This benthic species which occurs on the narrow continental slope of Espírito Santo state, may have been affected by the influx of sediments resulting from the rupture of the dam in Mariana county, which reached the sea on 21 November 2015 (Ref. 114945).
