We report the first case of partial albinism in the Critically Endangered Angelshark, Squatina squatina. The encounter with this specimen took place while SCUBA diving on the beach of Tufia, located on the east coast of the island of Gran Canaria on April 2, 2021. This is also the first confirmed finding of an albino elasmobranch specimen in the Canary Island archipelago. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
