Figure 2. – World spatial repartition of the two Echinorhinus species showing a clear pattern of presence in the Atlantic and Mediterranean sea for E. brucus, also present more sporadically in the Indian Ocean and the Southwestern Pacific. On the contrary E. cookie is widespread in the Pacific Ocean, including several spots surrounding the French Polynesian EEZ. Map adapted from Finucci et al. (2020) (E. brucus) and Aquamaps (2019) that includes the relative probabilities of occurrence of E. cookie within its potential Pacific wide distribution.
