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 ...

There are numerous species of sharks found in the Pacific Ocean; of these sharks, 36 [1] have habitat ranges throughout the coastlines and surrounding waters of California, as identified below. Identifications include common names; scientific names; the taxonomic rank, family; conservation statuses according to IUCN; and an image.
The newly discovered species of ghost shark, known as a spookfish. It may be early to get the Halloween decorations out for most, but in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean spooky season is well ...
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 ...
Ogilby's ghostshark (Chimaera ogilbyi), also known as the whitefish, is a species of chimaera, native to the waters of Australia and southern Indonesia. It lives near the ocean floor [1] on the continental shelf and continental slope 120–350 m (390–1,150 ft) deep. [2] It reaches a maximum size of 85.0 cm (33.5 in).
Specimens provisionally assigned to this species have also been seen in waters near California and Hawaii, alive, in 2009. As with many other deep-sea species, its distribution likely covers much of the globe, but is poorly known.
