New Query

Information
has glosseng: An egg case or egg capsule, colloquially known as mermaids purses or devils purses, is a casing that surrounds the fertilized eggs of some sharks, skates, and chimaeras. They are among the common objects which are washed up by the sea. Because they are lightweight, they are often found at the strandline, the furthest point of the high tide. The egg cases that wash up on beaches are usually empty, the young fish having already hatched out. Furthermore, egg cases are often found in commercial fishing gears like nets and pots, and on the sea floor during surveys using an ROV.
