Abstract
Catching of extremely large (520 cm) specimens of smalltooth sand tiger Odontaspis cf. ferox (Odontaspididae) near the southern part of Walvis Ridge (Southeastern Atlantic open waters) is documented for the first time. This species was found earlier in the Atlantic Ocean in the near-continental waters and island regions of the northeastern Atlantic from the Bay of Biscay to Morocco, including the Mediterranean Sea. In the open waters of the southeastern Atlantic, the species was not recorded previously.
