| Abstract: | The authors present a well-documented record of the first specimen of Maltese skate Leucoraja melitensis (Clark, 1926) ever to be reported from the coast of Algeria. According to data provided by the fishermen, it was an adult male measuring 253 mm in disc width, 232 mm in disc length and 455 mm in total length, and weighing 300 g approximately. Although the occurrence of this specimen is more likely attributable to migrations from other eastern Mediterranean areas such as the Tunisian coast, the possibility that it may indicate the presence of a viable population of L. melitensis in Algerian waters cannot be excluded. |
