Abstract (EN): The smalltooth sand tiger shark Odontaspis ferox (Risso, 1810) appears to have an extensive and fragmented distribution in tropical and warm-temperate worldwide oceans. One female of O. ferox was caught and released by a small-scale fishery vessel in Ria de Arousa (Northwest of Spain), subsequently stranded still alive on the coast (42 degrees 33'18.4 N 8 degrees 49'18.3 O) after a few hours. The individual (336 cm total length, weight similar to 300 kg) was identified based on a collection of features including the characteristic dentition, body morphology and by molecular assignment. This is the first confirmed record of O. ferox in Galician waters. This finding complements the knowledge of the geographic distribution and occurrence of this rare and sparse species in the Northeastern Atlantic.
