Centrophorus squamosus can make large-scale movements covering 550 nmi in one month.
It alternates periods of relative motionless with quick movements (20 nmi.day−1).
It shows directional movement towards the west and north of Bay of Biscay.
Some sharks show diel vertical migrations however this is not a general pattern.
Argos floats are a promising tool combined with PSAT tags to help infer trajectories.
