Callorhinchus, the plough-nosed chimaeras or elephantfish, are the only living genus in the family Callorhinchidae (sometimes spelled Callorhynchidae). A few extinct genera only known from fossil remains are recognized. Callorhinchus spp, are similar in form and habits to other chimaeras, but are distinguished by the presence of an elongated, flexible, fleshy snout, with a vague resemblance to a ploughshare. They are only found in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere along the ocean bottom on muddy and sandy substrates. They filter feed, with small shellfish making up the bulk of their diet. The plough-nosed chimaera lays eggs on the ocean floor that hatch at around 8 months. They are currently not a target of conservation efforts; however, they may be susceptible to overfishing and trawl

  • Les Callorhinchus, ou Holocéphales à tête en araire sont les derniers représentants encore vivants de la famille des Callorhinchidae. On connaît également certaines espèces par leurs vestiges fossiles. Callorhinchus présente la même morphologie et le même comportement que les autres chimériformes, mais s'en distingue par sa trompe longue et charnue, dont la forme rappelle vaguement celle d'un soc d'araire. Il n'est présent qu'au fond des océans de l'hémisphère sud, nageant sur le sable ou à travers la boue. Il filtre les sédiments pour se nourrir de petites crevettes. Ces chimériformes pondent leurs œufs dans la vase : ils éclosent au bout de 8 mois. L'espèce n'est pas protégée pour l'instant, bien qu'elle soit menacée de surpêche à cause des filets dérivants.
