Abstract

This paper deals with a new record of a neonatal specimen of Carcharhinus plumbeus Nardo, 1827 which was collected in the middle Adriatic. This specimen probably originates from the nursery area which is located in the northern Adriatic. Evaluating the status of such a sensitive species, especially in nursery areas, represents an essential basis for their successful protection.
