Cave sharks

Description

These are some concepts I had about a lineage of future sharks that were caught inside a cave system, these forms are descendants of species that had previously been adapted to live in fresh water, being all only less 10 cm long.

Above: High fronted shark, a strange mollusk eater which a jaw modified to capture and destroy shells of snails.
Right: Ghost cartilage, a transparent species that feeds on organic particles and microscopic organisms
Left: Leptoselachia, a shark with a extremely thin body 
Below: Cyclopthalmus: This species suffers from a defect that causes its species to develop congenital cyclopia, despite being partially blind, that is not a problem in a predominantly dark environment, depending most on its electroreceptive abilities.
