The first authoritative illustrated reference guide to the world’s ghost sharks. 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.
