Bathers have been urged to remain vigilant around Tarragona beaches following reports that a n 11-year-old schoolgirl was bitten by a blue shark yesterday.

The young holidaymaker was rushed to hospital after being bitten in the foot and was sent home just a few hours later with stitches for the two inch cut.

Local marine police were patrolling the coast just off Tarragona yesterday in a search for the fish. A number of beaches have been closed to bathers as a result.

The unnamed girl was bitten just after 10 am on Saturday morning at Sant Salvador de El Vendrell beach.

Blue sharks are one of the 20 or so species of shark which are considered dangerous to man. They are present off the coast of Tarragona but rarely approach the shoreline and cause problems for bathers.

This supposed "shark attack" has since been proven to be the result of a bluefish bite. Reports are now indicating, "maritime experts later concluded that the bite suffered by the girl was too small to have been caused by a shark and was compatible instead with the marks that would be left by a bluefish."
