Ghost Shark Discovered in Deep Pacific | Newark News
Description
A ghostly new deep-sea fish, dubbed the “ghost shark,” has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean at depths over two thousand meters. Pale, translucent, and glowing with bioluminescent organs, this Chimaera species—possibly up to one meter long—was spotted by ROV during a hydrothermal vent survey. With giant eyes adapted for near-total darkness, scientists are now racing to decode its genetics, behavior, and role in the abyssal food web—a discovery that underscores how much of Earth’s oceans remain mysterious and vital to explore.
