          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The stranding of an adult male Blalaenoptera Physalus (Mysticeti: Balaenopteridae) in Los Cocoteros Beach in Margarita Island, Venezuela, gave the chance of studying the interactions present in it. 33 injuriess were found in several points of rorqual tegument; oval or rounded in shape, like craters, from 5 to 7 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, and 3 to 5 cm deep. Most of them, were fresh. Wounds were attributed to the cookie cutter shark Isistius sp. (Elasmobranchii: Dalatiidae), given the remarkable correspondences. The present note constitutes the first known association between the cookie cutter shark and the fin whale in Venezuelan, Caribbean and western Atlantic waters.

En su gran mayoría, estaban frescas. Las heridas fueron atribuidas al tiburón Isistius sp. (Elasmobranchii: Dalatiidae), dadas las notables correspondencias. La presente nota constituye la primera asociación conocida entre el tiburón cigarro y la ballena de aleta en aguas venezolanas, caribeñas y del Atlántico occidental.
