The Last Frontier: Catch Records of White Sharks
White sharks are highly migratory apex predators, globally distributed in temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical waters. Knowledge of white shark biology and ecology has increased recently based on research at known aggregation sites in the Indian, Atlantic, and Northeast Pacific Oceans; however, few data are available for the Northwest Pacific Ocean. This study provides a meta-analysis of 240 ...
Future Research Directions on the "Elusive" White Shark
Figure 1. Annual number of white shark publications (1980-2018) based on a Web of Science search (12 June 2018) for items with titles including "white shark(s)" and/or "Carcharodon carcharias".The large numbers of publications in 1985, 1996, and 2012 are due to the publication of books or symposium proceedings about white sharks.
First insights into the movements of young-of-the-year white sharks
In recent years, white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) have become more accessible to researchers off the northeastern U.S. as feeding aggregation sites have emerged and the population has increased.
Half a century of global decline in oceanic sharks and rays
We note that the white shark historically declined by an estimated 70% worldwide over the past half-century, ... George Chen Shark Research Center, National Taiwan Ocean University, Center of ...
Social dynamics and individual hunting tactics of white sharks revealed
We found some white sharks to be highly active at depth, sometimes greater than 300 m deep, while others were more active in shallow water (e.g. the interactions with the sea lion was at 10 m depth). White shark hunting behaviour appears very different from other areas with murkier water where pinnipeds are ambushed on the surface [12,15-17].

Three-Dimensional Movements and Habitat Selection of Young White Sharks
As highly mobile predators with extensive home ranges, some shark species often utilize a continuum of habitats across the continental shelf ranging from the surf zone to the open ocean. For many species, these cross-shelf distributions can change depending on ontogeny or seasonal conditions. Recent research has confirmed a white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) summer nursery off Long Island ...
Spatio-Temporal Variability in White Shark
Understanding how mobile, marine predators use three-dimensional space over time is central to inform management and conservation actions. Combining tracking technologies can yield powerful datasets over multiple spatio-temporal scales to provide critical information for these purposes. For the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), detailed movement and migration information over ontogeny ...
Seasonal Distribution and Historic Trends in Abundance of White Sharks
Methods. White shark occurrence records were collected from numerous sources, including landings data, commercial fishery observer programs, recreational tournament information, scientific research surveys, commercial and recreational fishermen, collaborating scientists, newspaper articles, personal communications, and the scientific literature (, and references therein, , -).

Great White Shark
The torpedo shape of the great white is built for speed: up to 35 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour). And then there are the teeth -- 300 total in up to seven rows.
