Are there sharks in the Black Sea?

Yes, there are sharks in the Black Sea, but only a few species. The most common shark in the Black Sea is the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), which is a small shark that typically grows to around 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length. Other shark species that have been found in the Black Sea include the smooth-hound shark (Mustelus mustelus), the catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), and the blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus). However, these species are relatively rare and not as common as the spiny dogfish.
