A juvenile specimen that sustained a traumatic mandibular fracture with extensive soft\u2010tissue avulsion, which likely resulted from de\u2010hooking during a previous longline capture, was retrieved dead by a bottom trawler in the southern Adriatic Sea. Gross pathological and radiographic examinations confirmed that the injury remained isolated to the mandibular region, with no abnormalities detected in the splanchnocranium or the musculoskeletal system. Evidence of advanced healing and scar tissue formation was observed, and stomach content analysis revealed active feeding had occurred despite the injury, suggesting that severe mandibular trauma may not have impaired prey capture or consumption. The documented healing indicates that survival following severe mandibular injury and longline capture is possible in\n                    <jats:italic>H. perlo<\/jats:italic>\n                    , in contrast to the high at\u2010vessel mortality previously recorded for this species in bottom\u2010trawl fisheries. However, this conclusion remains tentative, and our findings highlight the need for further research into the recovery capacity of deep\u2010sea shark species that are impacted by commercial fishing, which is crucial for informing conservation strategies and fishery management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jfb.70312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,13]],"date-time":"2025-12-13T04:27:40Z","timestamp":1765600060000},"page":"2164-2170","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["First reported evidence of healing after a traumatic mandibular fracture with associated soft\u2010tissue avulsion in the deep\u2010sea sevengill shark (\n                    <scp>\n                      <i>Heptranchias perlo<\/i>\n                    <\/scp>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"108","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5138-9368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrej A.","family":"Gaji\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sharklab ADRIA: Center for Marine and Freshwater Biology  Vlor\u00eb Albania"},{"name":"Shark Measurements  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James A.","family":"Sulikowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station Oregon State University  Newport Rhode Island USA"},{"name":"Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Sciences Oregon State University  Corvallis Oregon USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jodie L.","family":"Rummer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science and Engineering James Cook University  Townsville Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0839-3940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joel H.","family":"Gayford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shark Measurements  London UK"},{"name":"College of Science and Engineering James Cook University  Townsville Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emina","family":"Karali\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sharklab ADRIA: Center for Marine and Freshwater Biology  Vlor\u00eb Albania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hajrudin","family":"Be\u0161irovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sharklab ADRIA: Center for Marine and Freshwater Biology  Vlor\u00eb Albania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3990-843X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elia N.","family":"Latta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sharklab ADRIA: Center for Marine and Freshwater Biology  Vlor\u00eb Albania"},{"name":"Natural History Museum of Denmark University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter R.","family":"M\u00f8ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Natural History Museum of Denmark University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cbpa.2019.03.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12526-015-0391-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gecco.2015.04.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"A preliminary evaluation of the status of shark species.
