New record of smalltooth sand tiger Odontaspis ferox (Risso, 1810) in the Mediterranean
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2022
Abstract
One shark was landed at the Naval Base Pasha Liman, Bay of Vlore, Albania, the Adriatic Sea. Photographic records only enabled the specimen to be placed in family Odontaspididae or Carchariidae. Later examination of the preserved head, dry jaw and dentition identified the specimen as Odontaspis ferox. This is a rare record and the northernmost Mediterranean observation of this species, and the first Adriatic record for several decades.
