Gicqueau on 5 Apr. 2018 beached in the Bay of Port-Cros (Var, Mediterranean Sea, France ), at 43.0083°N , 6.3834°E ( Gicqueau et al. , 2018 ). The individual was about 160 cm TL. The specimen was released off northern Port-Cros. This specimen was previously recorded by Peirache et al. (2018) . This species is uncommonly recorded both in French waters ( Quéro et al. , 2003b ) and globally ( Roberts, 2012 ). In the last few years several individuals of the species have regularly been observed off Nice in the Mediterranean in the vicinity of a weather buoy ( Loyer, 2015 ).
