Recently, ZSI (Zoological Survey of India) scientists discovered a new species of dogfish shark in India named Squalus hima.
This new species of shark was found in the Bay of Bengal, off the coast of Andhra Pradesh, at a depth of around 276 meters.
The discovery is significant as it adds to the biodiversity of marine life in Indian waters and showcases the rich underwater ecosystem in the region.
Squalus hima is characterized by its unique features like spines on the dorsal fins and a distinctive coloration pattern.
This finding highlights the importance of continued research and exploration to uncover more hidden species and better understand our marine environment.
