The first record of the Ganges shark Glyphis gangeticus from anywhere in its range in over a decade is reported from the Arabian Sea. One female specimen was recorded at Sassoon Docks in Mumbai, India in February 2016, measuring 266 cm total length. In light of the Critically Endangered status of this species and its rarity, urgent management actions are needed to determine population size and trends in abundance in combination with fisher education and awareness campaigns.
十多年来，恒河鲨（Glyphis gangeticus）在其分布范围内任何地方的首次记录来自阿拉伯海。2016年2月，在印度孟买的 Sassoon 码头记录到一只雌性标本，全长266厘米。鉴于该物种的极度濒危状态及其稀有性，需要采取紧急管理行动，结合渔民教育和宣传活动来确定其种群规模和数量趋势。
