| Abstract: | The authors report the capture of a young basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus, in the Levant Basin, measuring 259 cm in total length and weighing 63 kg. According to the fisherman who captured it, the shark was part of a shoal of 40 other young specimens. Additionally, a brief report is presented listing several juvenile basking sharks among C. maximus captures in the Levant Basin, along with the capture of a large pregnant female years ago. This suggests that a viable population of the species may be established in the region. However, a management plan should be implemented to protect C. maximus and prevent the total disappearance of the species in the area. |
