The First Record of Kitefin Shark Dalatias licha in Albanian Waters

The aim of this paper is to present the first documented record of the kitefin shark, Dalatias licha, in Albanian waters. Although Albania is situated at the confluence of two seas, and has an Adriatic as well as an Ionian coastline, D. licha was not recorded previously as present in Albanian waters, in either its Adriatic or Ionian parts. The kitefin shark individual was captured off the coast of Vlora by a professional fisherman and identified in situ by two researchers.
