The clouded angelshark, Squatina nebulosa, is an angelshark of the family Squatinidae found in the northwest Pacific from the southeastern Sea of Japan to Taiwan, between about 47 and 22 degrees north latitude. FishBase also lists Japan, Korea and China within its range and a report from the northern shelf of the South China Sea. It is a demersal, marine species recorded from the surface down to about 200 metres, found on the continental shelves. Females reach a length of up to 1.63 metres. Reproduction is ovoviviparous, with the embryos feeding solely on yolk. Charles Tate Regan described the species in 1906, and the IUCN Red List assessed it as Endangered under criterion A2d on 22 August 2018.
