| Abstract: | The authors document the capture of a large specimen of round fantail stingray Taeniurops grabatus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817) from the coast of Algeria. The individual T. grabatus measured 2.90 m in disc width and its total body weight was assessed to 300 kg. The specimen stands as the largest known to date, probably surpassing other dasyatid species and warranting recognition as a giant specimen. Additionally, this capture serves as evidence that Algerian marine waters provide favorable conditions for the species to thrive, with a viable population already successfully established in the region. |
