Chimaeras live in temperate ocean floors, with some species inhabiting depths exceeding 2,000 m (6,600 ft), [8] with relatively few modern species regularly inhabiting shallow water. Exceptions include the members of the genus Callorhinchus , the rabbit fish and the spotted ratfish , which locally or periodically can be found at shallower depths.
This chimaera has a brown compressed, elongate body. The holotype and paratype of the species, both juvenile females, had a total length of 38.1 centimetres (15.0 in) and 22.7 centimetres (8.9 in), respectively. It lives in rocky habitats close to the sea floor, in waters about 395–510 metres (1,296–1,673 ft) deep.
Studies so far have shown the sequence and the gene order are more similar between human and elephant shark genomes than between human and teleost fish genomes (pufferfish and zebrafish), though humans are more closely related to teleost fishes than to the Australian ghostshark. The Elephant Shark Genome Project was launched with the aim to ...

Its “thin” body is covered in peeling skin and ends in a thread-like tail. ... Researchers described the ghost shark’s live coloring as being “uniformly dark brown, without any spots or ...
The Australasian narrow-nosed spookfish has a bulging black eyes and a wispy tail.
The whitespot ghost shark lives in the southeast Pacific Ocean, in the waters of the Galapagos Islands, and has only been observed or caught in four different areas of the islands. Although unconfirmed, it is probable that the species are endemic to the islands, particularly due to the number of fish which are known to be endemic there. The ...
The assessment in 2020 also found that 15 per cent of ghost shark species were “so understudied that their extinction risk cannot be determined". Show comments Advertisement
