ABSTRACT
Five specimens (four females and one male) of the Gorgona guitarfish, Pseudobatos prahli, were sighted during two dives carried out off the western Gulf of Tehuantepec. This document describes the reproductive condition of three adult females captured, two of which had uterine eggs, whereas one had embryos. The sighting and capture of specimens occurred during two Tehuano wind events; the authors, therefore, believe that variations in temperature and dissolved oxygen could have affected P. prahli, leading it to carry out temporal migrations towards coastal shallow waters.
