- First record of a whale shark Rhincodon typus in continental EuropePublication . Rodrigues, N.V.; Correia, J. P. S.; Graças, J.T.C.; Rodrigues, F.; Pinho, R.; Hirofumi, M.A whale shark Rhincodon typus was found in a set-net in southern Portugal in October 2011.

Upwelling events and increase in sea-surface temperatures are possible reasons for this occurrence.
