The Australian ghostshark was proposed as a model cartilaginous fish genome because of its relatively small genome size. Its genome is estimated to be 910 megabases long, which is the smallest among all the cartilaginous fishes and one-third the size of the human genome (3000 Mb).
Several near-shore species are purposefully caught for their meat, especially callorhinchids, Hydrolagus bemisi (pale ghost shark), and Hydrolagus novaezealandiae (dark ghost shark). Modern quotas have helped to moderate collection of these species to a sustainable level, though Callorhinchus milii (the Australian ghostshark ) experienced ...

Scientists from the Shark Specialist Group, a division of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, said that 16 per cent of ghost shark species are “threatened” or “near ...
At first, the egg is a golden yellow color, but this transforms into brown, and finally, black right before hatching. The average time in the egg is 8 months, and the embryo uses the yolk for all nourishment. Once hatched, the young instinctively move to deeper water.
