What We Are Reading Today: ‘Ghost Sharks’
Authors: David A. Ebert, Jenny M. Kemper, Brittany Finucci, Dominique A. Didier, and Marc Dando
Ghost sharks, also known as chimaeras, are cartilaginous fish related to sharks and rays sharing a common ancestor dating back some 400 million years.
These extraordinary fish are found in virtually every ocean on the planet, and while a few inhabit coastal waters, most live at depths that can make them incredibly difficult to study and observe.
This comprehensive reference book covers every known species of chimaera to date.
