Went out trying to catch and tag Chimaera monstrosa, ghostsharks, for the #SOSF_GhostTrack / #NFR_PUFFINS projects. Didn’t manage to catch any unfortunately, but we did catch a beautiful blackmouth catshark 🦈 We’ll try again next week!

In the icy fjords of Norway, Lotte S Dahlmo and team have tagged their first elusive deep-sea fish rarely seen near the surface: chimaeras!
Cold hands, dark nights, and frozen boats are paying off as the mystery of the ghost shark begins to unfold.
