| Abstract: | The ecology of the great white shark Carcharodon carcharias in the Mediterranean remains largely unknown due to its rarity and population decline, despite its role as the region’s apex predator. In September 2022, we documented a rare adult female displaying distinct bite marks, swimming off the coast of the Camargue. From spring to autumn, the Gulf of Lion, particularly in the adjacent waters of the protected area of the Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue, experiences a significant increase in biodiversity. Our observations suggest that this region may serve as a key late-summer feeding area for female great white sharks following copulation. |
