Not yet definitively recorded from Sicilian Channel but a likely addition, given the presence of other oceanic Atlantic vagrants such as C. obscurus and Alopias superciliosus , and quite likely to be recorded throughout the deeper, warmer zones of the Mediterranean basins.

This species is apparently more prone to making inshore excursions than its pelagic relatives, Carcharhinus longimanus and Prionace glauca , and may be less well adapted to a truly oceanic lifestyle. Segregation by size occurs, with younger sharks nearer to shore.
