| Abstract: | The present paper reports the captures of two specimens of smoothback angelshark Squatina oculata Bonaparte, 1840 from the northern Tunisian coast. The specimens were two large females measuring 1.70 m and 1.60 m in total length and weighed 30 kg and 25 kg in total body weight, respectively. The smaller female carried yellow yolked oocytes and was probably at the beginning of its pregnancy. A total of eight smoothback angelsharks were caught between 2005 and 2021, which indicates a decline of captures in the area. However, the species is not extinct, but as in all Mediterranean regions it needs a management plan to preserve viable populations. |
