Using a deep-sea remote lander video system, we observed multiple C. owstonii individuals alive on the footage at 1054 m off Little Cayman, Cayman Islands, Western Atlantic Ocean, marking, to our knowledge, the first record of the species in the Greater Antilles, central Caribbean Sea, while also adding a new species locality record for the Cayman Islands. This study expands our knowledge of the distribution of the roughskin dogfish in the region, and highlights the utility of video lander systems for enhancing and expanding our understanding of the biology and diversity of deep-sea sharks.
