Abstract

Opportunistic records can provide valuable information on certain species, including the critically endangered porbeagle shark ( Lamna nasus ). This note documents the occurrence of three juveniles, with approximate 120‐, 88‐, and 85‐cm fork lengths respectively, observed along the coast of Asturias, Spain, in 2024. Given the three distinct scenarios in which these records respectively occurred (incidental capture, washed ashore and stranding), they emphasize the role of citizen science in identifying potential threats to this species, particularly in early stages of life, in a region that may be important and previously overlooked.
