The largest specimen of smooth-hound, Mustelus mustelus (LINNAEUS, 1758), captured in the Mediterranean Sea is recorded. The 1650 mm TL specimen is one of the three largest M. mustelus reported troughout its range. The pregnant female carrying 17 full-term embryos was caught in an unknown locality of the Adriatic Sea and was brought to the fish market in Milano, Italy. Morphometrics and a description of the specimen and its pups are presented. |
