Abstract

Two shark species, Odontaspis ferox and Centrophorus squamosus, are recorded for the first time at the Galápagos Islands based on one sighting reported by tourist divers and one specimen captured by a local fisherman. The identification of a third shark species, Mustelus albipinnis, previously unidentified and recorded as Mustelus sp., is achieved based on several sightings at the same location.
