seatrench:Divers free a Megamouth shark from a fishing net in Tateyama Bay.The Megamouth is a large deep-sea shark, rarely seen by people. Despite reaching a considerable adult size of 4m-5.2m, they are the smallest of the filter-feeding sharks, which includes the Basking Shark and the Whale Shark.. Their large mouths are lined with bioluminescent photophores, which are thought to attract plankton and fish to the slow-moving shark.(source) -- source link
