The beach seine is a traditional kind of fishing gear used around the globe (NEDELEC; PRADO, 1990; HAHN et al., 2007). It is generally regarded as an artisanal fashion of extracting fishery resources. It is, however, expected to have some impact on fish stocks (CABRAL et al., 2005; VOOREN; KLIPPEL, 2005). Moreover, as coastal areas are among the main reproduction and/or nursery areas for many species of bony fishes, elasmobranchs and other organisms (VOOREN, 1997; LAYMAN, 2000; ODDONE et al., 2006; LIMA; VIEIRA, 2009), its impact could be much greater than the volume caught may suggest. Cassino beach is an extensive sandy beach of ca. 200 km in length in the extreme south of Brazil (Fig. 1) and represents a considerable portion of the central stretch of the world’s longest sandy beach which, extending from Torres (29°1935"S - 49°42144"W) to Chui (33°4436"S - 52°2204"W). It has a total, almost uninterrupted, extent of 620 km of straight sandy beach (CALLIARI, 1997; PEREIRA et al., 2010). A total of 58 species of elasmobranchs inhabit the coastal waters, shelf and upper slope of Southern Brazil (VOOREN, 1997). The coastal area has been described as a reproduction and/or nursery area for several threatened species such as, for example, the Brazilian guitarfish Rhinobatos horkelii , the fanskate Sympterygia spp. and the scalloped hammerhead shark Sphyrna lewini (VOOREN, 1997; VOOREN et al., 2005). Several kinds of fishing techniques, such as those of the traditional shelf fisheries with trawling gear, gillnets, long-lines, traps and purse seines, and the coastal gill-nets, beach seines and hook-and-line fisheries for teleosteans and elasmobranchs (HAIMOVICI et al., 1997; VELASCO et al., 2007), have been used in this region for decades. The use of the beach seine is a traditional activity for some local fishermen. This net is pulled up out of the water by 20 men or more, and the catch carried away by truck to the local markets or resellers (middlemen). Even though the decline of some of the coastal and surf-zone species has been attributed to its use, this method of fishing is still used though its total yield is unknown to the environmental and fishery authorities (VOOREN; KLIPPEL, 2005). The objective of this present contribution is to record a specific case of the impact of fishing by beach seine on an elasmobranch non-targeted species. On November 5
