| Abstract: | The paper reports the capture of smalltooth sandtiger shark, Odontaspis ferox (Risso, 1810), from the eastern region of the Algerian coast (GSA 04). It was probably an adult female specimen, with an estimated total length of 3 m and a total body weight of 200 kg. This finding constitutes the second record of O. ferox in Algerian ichthyofauna. The origin of this specimen remains uncertain and the presence of a viable population in the area needs further documentation. However, a management plan is needed to preserve this species and prevent its extinction – not only in Algerian waters but throughout the Mediterranean Sea. |
