Records of elasmobranch species from the Kerkennah archipelago in Tunisia (Central Mediterranean)

Records of elasmobranch species from the Kerkennah archipelago in Tunisia (Central Mediterranean)

This work is the first contribution to study the diversity of elasmobranchs in the Kerkennah islands (Gulf of Gabès, Southern Tunisia). Here we report on elasmobranches’ species examined during fish landing surveys conducted from March to August 2019. Records of seventeen species from the archipelago, including 5 sharks and 12 batoids, are presented. This number represents 35.41% of the species of elasmobranchs reported in the Gulf of Gabès, which is equal to 48 species. Among these species, some are seen regularly while others rarely. In addition, the sandbar shark Carcharhinus plumbeus was the most landed species. Information on elasmobranchs diversity from this region is of concern and accurate species identification is crucial to provide information on management measures.

Ce travail est la première contribution à l'étude de la diversité des élasmobranches des îles Kerkennah (golfe de Gabès, sud tunisien). Nous rapportons ici les espèces d'élasmobranches examinées lors des suivis de débarquements des poissons menés de mars à août 2019. Des enregistrements de dix-sept espèces de l'archipel, dont 5 requins et 12 batoïdes, sont présentés. Ce nombre représente 35,41% des espèces d'élasmobranches signalées dans le golfe de Gabès (48 espèces). Parmi ces espèces, certaines sont débarquées régulièrement tandis que d'autres rarement. Le requin gris Carcharhinus plumbeus était l'espèce la plus débarquée. Les informations sur la diversité des élasmobranches de cette région sont préoccupantes et l'identification précise des espèces est cruciale pour fournir des informations sur les mesures de gestion.
