Hydrolagus Colliei
The spotted ratfish (''Hydrolagus colliei'') is a chimaera found in the north-eastern Pacific Ocean. Often seen by divers at night in the Pacific Northwest, this cartilaginous fish gets its characteristic name from a pointed rat-like tail. The ratfish lays leathery egg cases on the bottom of muddy or sandy areas, which are often mistaken by divers as something inanimate. While mainly a deep-water species, it occurs at shallower depths in the northern part of its range. The generic name, ''Hydrolagus'', comes from the Greek words ὕδωρ, meaning water,Liddell, H.G. & Scott, R. (1940).

Hydrolagus Erithacus
''Hydrolagus erithacus'', or Robin's ghostshark, is a species of fish in the family Chimaeridae. It is found in the southeastern Atlantic and southwestern Indian oceans. There exists a rapid development of fisheries since the 1970s in their territory, targeting deepwater sharks. While there is no data available for ghost sharks in this region, the South African Prince Edward Islands Marine Protected Areas may provide refuge to this species. References erithacus ''Erithacus'' (Greek: "robin" (erithacos)) is a genus of passerine bird that contains a single extant species, the European robin ''(Erithacus rubecula)''.

Hydrolagus Bemisi
The pale ghost shark (''Hydrolagus bemisi'') is a shortnose chimaera of the family Chimaeridae. It is endemic to New Zealand waters. Taxonomy This species was first described by Dominique A. Didier in 2002. Although it had been recognised, the description of this species was regarded as being important because of the increase in the commercial fishing of chimaera. Description Estimations of growth and age have only been attempted for a quarter of the species known.Finucci, B, Cheok, J, Ebert, DA, Herman, K, Kyne, PM, Dulvy, NK. Ghosts of the deep- Biodiversity, fisheries, and extinction risk of ghost sharks, Fish Fish. 2021; 22: 391-412. https://doi.org/10.1111/faf.12526 This species has a medium-sized body with a tapered whip-like tail. Its length is up to 1.12 m. It can be distinguished from '' H. novaezealandiae'' and '' H. homonycteris'' as it has a pale silvery colour with no patternation or spots. Estimates suggest that they can live between 15–22 years, although th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
