Squatina Oculata

The smoothback angelshark (Squatina oculata) is an angelshark of the family Squatinidae.

The smoothback angelshark can reach a length of up to 1.6 metres. As with other angelsharks, its body is flattened by very wide pectoral fins, giving it the appearance of a long ray. Unlike in rays, however, the pectoral fins are clearly separated from the body.

Endangered species in Croatia,

It is most threatened by the intensive fishing in coastal areas and continental shelves by drift nets, gillnets and longlines.
