On the record of the sandbar shark Carcharhinus plumbeus Nardo, 1827 (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) in the middle Adriatic Sea

摘要

U radu se opisuje nalaz mladunca morskog psa tupana, Carcharhinus plumbeus Nardo, 1827, ulovljenog u srednjem Jadranu. Primjerak vjerojatno potječe iz područja Sjevernog Jadrana koje je ujedno i rastilište ove vrste. Poznavanje statusa osjetljivih vrsta, poglavito u područjima koja su od važnosti za rane životne stadije, predstavlja temelj za njihovu uspješnu zaštitu.%This paper deals with a new record of a neonatal specimen of Carcharhinus plumbeus Nardo, 1827 which was collected in the middle Adriatic. This specimen probably originates from the nursery area which is located in the northern Adriatic. Evaluating the status of such a sensitive species, especially in nursery areas, represents an essential basis for their successful protection.
