The Association for the study and conservation of selachians (Apecs) launched, Thursday, on Twitter, a wanted notice to find a shark beacon.

The device was indeed unhooked after being placed last September on a porbeagle shark, captured in Brittany.

The organization has indicated that its signal was recently picked up in Perros-Guirec (Côtes-d'Armor).
