First live observations of goblin sharks in natural deep-sea habitat published by UH-led team
Summary
A University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa-led team of oceanographers published the first live observations of the rare goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) in its natural deep ocean habitat. Previously, goblin sharks were only filmed after being caught on fishing lines and brought to the surface, where they soon died. The study, published in Journal of Fish Biology, provides unprecedented insights into the behavior and natural environment of this elusive deep-sea species.
