Journal Article
First Confirmed Record of the Smalltooth Sand Tiger, Odontapis Ferox, in Galicia (NW Spain)
2023
Overview
The smalltooth sand tiger shark
Odontaspis ferox
(Risso,
1810
) appears to have an extensive and fragmented distribution in tropical and warm-temperate worldwide oceans. One female of
O. ferox
was caught and released by a small-scale fishery vessel in Ría de Arousa (Northwest of Spain), subsequently stranded still alive on the coast (42°33’18.4\"N 8°49’18.3\"O) after a few hours. The individual (336 cm total length, weight ~ 300 kg) was identified based on a collection of features including the characteristic dentition, body morphology and by molecular assignment. This is the first confirmed record of
O. ferox
in Galician waters. This finding complements the knowledge of the geographic distribution and occurrence of this rare and sparse species in the Northeastern Atlantic.
