Scientists captured the first-ever footage of the elusive roughskin dogfish in the Caribbean, expanding knowledge of its distribution and highlighting the importance of noninvasive video methods for deep-sea biodiversity research and conservation.
Scientists conducting a deep-sea experiment in the South China Sea observed eight Pacific sleeper sharks, marking the first recorded presence of this species in the region. The sharks displayed complex feeding behaviors, including queueing and size-based aggression, and exhibited unique eye retraction as a protective adaptation. This discovery suggests a broader and more complex range for the species than previously known, raising new questions about deep-sea predator behaviors and distribution.
