“…The newly obtained sequence was blasted at NCBI and BOLD databases for species identification. (RedPROMAR, 2022), and it can appear seasonally and periodically in specific places, as is the case of the El Hierro Island in the Canary Islands (Barría et al 2018). However, the nature and explanation of these behaviours remains to be discovered.…”

“…Little is known about the biology of O. ferox due to the relatively small number of reported captures worldwide (Graham et al 2016), and limited in situ observations by recreational divers in shallow waters (Fergusson et al 2008;Barría et al 2018). The maturity size is approximately 200 cm TL (total length) for males and 350 cm TL for females (Fergusson et al 2008).…”

“…In Spain, O. ferox occurs mainly in the Balearic and Canary Islands. In the Canary Islands, records include specimens found dead (Fergusson et al 2008;Brito 1991) and seasonal visual observations by recreational divers in shallow waters (Barría et al 2018).…”

The smalltooth sand tiger shark Odontaspis ferox (Risso, 1810) appears to have an extensive and fragmented distribution in tropical and warm-temperate worldwide oceans. One female of O. ferox was caught and released by a small-scale fishery vessel in Ría de Arousa (Northwest of Spain), subsequently stranded still alive on the coast (42°33’18.4"N 8°49’18.3"O) after a few hours. The individual (336 cm total length, weight ~ 300 kg) was identified based on a collection of features including the characteristic dentition, body morphology and by molecular assignment. This is the first confirmed record of O. ferox in Galician waters. This finding complements the knowledge of the geographic distribution and occurrence of this rare and sparse species in the Northeastern Atlantic.

“…Tags however, may cause problems associated with physical or behavioural disruptions of normal processes (Speed et al, ). As an alternative or supplement to conventional methods, photo‐identification (photo‐ID) using natural markings, morphological features or scars offer a non‐invasive way to collect individual data (Speed et al, ; van Tienhoven et al, ; Moya et al, ; Barría et al, ). Despite some limitations related to its technical application, photo‐ID has been increasingly used in elasmobranch studies (Castro & Rosa, ; van Tienhoven et al, ; Holmberg et al, ; Luiz et al, ).…”

Photo-identification (photo-ID) was tested as a means to identify individual small-spotted catsharks Scyliorhinus canicula. The spotting pattern of the caudal region of S. canicula was used for the tests and revealed that photo-ID is an efficient method to identify individuals. Photo-ID is logistically simple, making it a potential alternative to traditional tagging to provide information on the distribution patterns and population dynamics of S. canicula and related species.

El Hierro has been characterized by the balance between human development and environmental sustainability. The island was historically far from the mass tourism developments dominant on the other Canary Islands. Tourism accommodations in El Hierro are few compared to more developed coastal areas in the Archipelago, and recreational activities are mainly linked to cultural and natural sites and resources. This chapter focuses on La Restinga fishing village and its coasts, where the ‘Sea of Calms’ and one multiple-use Marine Reserve (MR) are located, both of which became popular over the last decade. The tourist development experience has promoted a new way of looking at the sea and conceptualizing its habitats and populations. In 2014, after the submarine volcano eruption occurred in 2011, we estimated that at least 25,391 dives had been carried out in the diving spots established by the MR and other diving sites close to La Restinga. Despite the difficulties experienced after the volcano eruption, a unique imaginaire has been consolidated, thanks to the image of the island's exclusive nature and iconic elements. In addition, the rapid recovery of the destination is an excellent example of how the tourism system can adapt and incorporate unexpected events such as volcanic eruptions.
