Can sharks live in the Black Sea?

Answer 1

Sharks can and do live in the Black Sea. Leonard Compagno, an international authority on shark taxonomy, indicates in his 'Collins Field Guide to Sharks of the World' two species which occur in the Black Sea: the Angelshark (Squatina squatina) and the Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus). There is no doubt that a third species, the Spurdog or Piked Dogfish (Squalus acanthias), also occurs there, but it is strangely absent from the Black Sea on the distribution map. The author warns, however, that many distribution maps are likely incomplete, and that it is quite possible that many species have a wider distribution than illustrated.
