One male and one female angular rough sharks Oxynotus centrina were caught south‐east of Malta between May and June at a depth of 60–100 m < 5 km from shore. The immature female (total length, L T 565 mm) was landed dead but the male (535 mm L T ) was found alive. This communication presents important biological observations on post‐capture recovery and release behaviour of this species.
