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.
One ghost shark was caught on camera swimming off the coast of California in 2017. The specimens studied by NIWA to make this identification were found during other research studies for Fisheries ...
DNA analysis found the new species had at least 7.9% genetic divergence from other ghost shark species. The research team included David Ebert, Tassapon Krajangdara, Fahmi and Jenny Kemper.

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 ...
Shortnose chimaeras have a venomous spine on their backs, which is sufficiently dangerous to injure humans. [2] They are found in temperate and tropical marine waters worldwide. [3] Most species are restricted to depths below 200 m (660 ft), [3] but a few, notably the spotted ratfish and rabbit fish, can locally be found at relatively shallow ...
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 ...
The Galápagos ghostshark (Hydrolagus mccoskeri) is a chimaera species in the family Chimaeridae, likely endemic to the Galápagos Islands.It was discovered by John E. McCosker in 1995 and described in 2006, scientifically named in honor of McCosker.
