| Summary: | ORDER LAMNIFORMES Family Lamnidae Lamna nasus (Bonnaterre, 1788) — Porbeagle Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus, 1758) — Great white shark Reported by Solorzano et al. (1988) based on specimens caught by the long line fleet and discharged at the Coruña fishmarket. We consider this as a doubtful record, because those specimens were probably caught out of the study area. Isurus oxyrinchus Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810 — Shortfin mako Family Cetorhinidae Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, 1765) — Basking shark Family Alopiidae Alopias vulpinus (Bonnaterre, 1788) — Thintail thresher Alopias superciliosus (Lowe, 1841) — Bigeye thresher Common species in the open waters of the North Atlantic but with a single record from Galicia: a male specimen stranded in Playa América, Nigrán (Pontevedra), in July 2008 (CEMMA, personal communication). Family Scyliorhinidae * Galeus melastomus Rafinesque, 1810 —Blackmouth catshark Galeus atlanticus (Vaillant, 1888) —Atlantic sawtail cat shark Not mentioned for Galician waters neither in Whitehead et al. (1986) nor in Quéro et al. (2003). Frequently caught between 400 and 711 m depth during the last years in the “Demersales” surveys. Probably this species was previously confused with G. melastomus. * Scyliorhinus canicula (Linnaeus, 1758)—Small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus stellaris (Linnaeus, 1758) —Nursehound Family Pseudotriakidae Pseudotriakis microdon de Brito Capello, 1868 — False catshark Recorded for Galicia based on unreported specimens caught in the Galicia Bank (Figure 2). Family Carcharhinidae *Galeorhinus galeus (Linnaeus, 1758) — Tope shark Mustelus mustelus (Linnaeus, 1758) — Smooth-hound Mustelus asterias Cloquet, 1821 — Starry smooth-hound Prionace glauca (Linnaeus, 1758) — Blue shark Family Sphyraenidae Sphyrna zygaena (Linnaeus, 1758) — Smooth hammerhead Published as part of Mucientes, Gonzalo & Arronte, Juan Carlos, 2010, Marine fishes from Galicia (NW Spain): an updated checklist, pp. 1-27 in Zootaxa 2667 on pages 4-5, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.276366 |
