Taken from Elasmo-Research.org Known from scattered marine locations around the globe, most Frilled Shark specimens have come from Japanese waters. The majority of captures are thought to be from near the bottom, at depths of 400 to 4,200 feet (120 to 1,280 metres), but these may be an artifact of the method of capture: with deep-sea longlines and bottom gill nets, it is often impossible to determine whether a capture was made at the set depth, on the way down, or on the way back up. Recent evidence from stomach contents suggests that the Frilled Shark sometimes makes forays far from the bottom into midwater.
