Abstract: Within the Gulf of Aden, Djibouti has long been known as a place frequented by whale sharks. Sharks gathering off the Djiboutian coasts are mostly juvenile males and form seasonal aggregations [1]. Considering the general lack of knowledge on this species, and that is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with a decreasing population [2,3], a comprehensive research study on the whale shark population has been carried out in the Gulf of Tadjoura (Djibouti) since 2016.
