Lamnidae
While recorded close to the shore in other areas, we do not consider
Carcharodon carcharias
(Linnaeus, 1758)
a coastal fish at Madeira (recorded from the open sea).
*
Isurus oxyrinchus
Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810—Shortfin mako
Lamna nasus
Bonnaterre, 1788
—Porbeagle
Erroneously noted as common by
Maul (1949)
, due to a typographical error: a remark originally meant for
Isurus oxyrhynchus
(pers. comm. of G. Maul to M. Biscoito). The presence of this species at Madeira is doubtful.
