Abstract
We report the first case of partial albinism in the Critically Endangered angelshark, Squatina squatina . The encounter with this specimen took place while SCUBA diving on the beach of Tufia, located on the east coast of the island of Gran Canaria on 2 April 2021. This is also the first confirmed finding of an albino elasmobranch specimen in the Canary Island archipelago.
