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). ''A Greek-English Lexicon. revised and augmented throughout by Sir Henry Stuart Jones. with the assistance of. Roderick McKenzie.'' Oxford: Clarendon Press. and λαγώς/λαγῶς, meaning hare, and the specific name honors Alexander Collie, who was a ship surgeon and early naturalist.

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)''.

Edward Turner Bennett
Edward Turner Bennett (6 January 1797 – 21 August 1836) was an English zoologist and writer. He was the elder brother of the botanist John Joseph Bennett.Bennett, Edward Turner (1797-1836), zoologist
by J. C. Edwards in Dictionary of National Biography online (accessed 21 July 2008)
Bennett was born at Hackney (parish), Hackney and practiced as a surgery, surgeon, but his chief pursuit was always zoology. In 1822 he attempted to establish an entomological society, which later became a zoological society in connection with the Linnean Society. This in turn became the starting point of the Zoological Society of London, of which Bennett was Secretary from 1831 to 1836.Mullens, W. H., and Harry Kirke Swann, H. Kirke Swann

George Tradescant Lay
George Tradescant Lay (c. 1800 – 6 November 1845) was a British naturalist, missionary and diplomat. Lay was a naturalist on the English sailing ship HMS ''Blossom'' under the command of Captain Frederick William Beechey from 1825 to 1828, where he collected specimens in the Pacific including California, Alaska, Kamchatka, China, Mexico, South America, and Hawaii, and other South Pacific islands. He is credited as being one of the discoverers of the flower ''Layia gaillardioides'', as a result having the genus ''Layia'' named for him. He then went on to become a missionary in China for the British and Foreign Bible Society from 1836 to 1839. During this time, he studied the Chinese language and culture. Upon returning to England in 1839, his experience in China helped him obtain a position of British Consul in China. He was posted in Canton in 1843, then Foochow in 1844, and finally Amoy in 1845, before dying later that year from a fever. His son, Horatio Nelson Lay follo ...

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 ...
