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 ...

Ghost Shark and Manta Ray protect the undersea realm. Sounds like it could be the title of a future Marvel movie, but in actual fact, it’s what could be the future of Pacific naval defenses.
Scientists in New Zealand have discovered a new species of long-nosed "ghost shark" that thrives in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean.. The Australasian Narrow-nosed Spookfish was found living ...
Callorhinchus, the plough-nosed chimaeras or elephantfish, are the only living genus in the family Callorhinchidae (sometimes spelled Callorhynchidae). [1] A few extinct genera only known from fossil remains are recognized. [2]
