Hammerheads are usually talked about as if it was just one creature but in a matter of fact the hammerhead shark comes in nine different species. The largest of the species is the Great hammerhead shark, they can range from 3.4m to 6m long and 225kg to 450kg in weight, the females are larger than the males but males mature at an earlier stage, although smaller sizes are more commonly found. The hammerhead sharks habitat is offshore in water depths of 300m, also in shallow coastal areas like continental

There are many different species of hammerhead sharks, the largest of which is the Great Hammerhead, or Sphyrna Mokarran. The great hammerhead, though endangered, is found all over the world’s oceans, has many distinct physical features, and has a very diverse diet. The great hammerhead also gives live birth and is considered potentially dangerous to humans, but is still regularly fished for many reasons. DISCUSSION-LOCATION The great hammerhead shark is one of approximately ten related species

have perfected certain strategies that have enabled them to develop more successfully in the environment they inhabit. One such case of this successful development is the great hammerhead shark. The great hammerhead shark, also known as Sphyrna mokarran, is a pelagic shark and is found world wide in

Recent studies from the article “Hammerhead shark migration gives new hope for conservation” discusses how these hammerhead sharks have been listed onto the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) since 2007, also having certain regulation about international trade threatening species going extinct. Dr. Tristian Guthridge explains the benefits of understanding the shark’s behavior and more research of where these sharks are migrating, and possibly manage the time of fishing in the

weather when the seasons change. Humpback Whales migrate to follow their food source krill. The Great Hammerhead was known to have movements, but it was not-believed that the movement was in patterns like a yearly migration of most animals that migrate. The Great Hammerhead shark is a large shark and can grow up to 20 feet and weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. Until Recently it was unknown if the Great Hammerhead Shark migrated. Advancements in Marine Science and Technology are the main reasons why

Hammerhead Sharks Marine Science/ Per. 1      Sharks are one of the most feared sea animals. They live in oceans across the world but are most common in tropical waters. There are over three hundred fifty species of sharks. They can be broadly categorized into the following four groups: Squalomorphii, Squatinomorphii, Batoidea, and Galeomorphii. The shark family Sphyrnidae that includes the Hammerheads are part of the Galeomorphic classification. They are probably the

The movie Jaws was written by Peter Benchley and directed by Steven Spielberg. It created mass chaos in an unknowing world. In Francis’s article "The State of Sharks, 40 Years After Jaws," he drives into the negative and positive effects of Jaws on shark populations. He mostly focuses on Australia and the United States. Before the movie was released, little was known about sharks. People were oblivious to the danger, but swimming was not a huge recreational activity. Early sailors wrote journals

The diet of the tiger shark has received a great deal of attention, and in general, they are opportunistic feeders preying on teleosts, elasmobranches, birds, turtles, reptiles, mammals, and discarded rubbish (Carlson et al. ). Tiger sharks are known as the “garbage disposal” of the ocean. Although

If a bull shark and hammerhead shark were to fight, the bull shark would win. Bull sharks are the most dangerous sharks in the world! Along with this, bull sharks have special adaptations, and they hunt in shallow waters. Although hammerhead sharks have great vision, the shape of their heads, and the placement of their eyes cause them to have a huge blind spot right in the middle of their head. This makes it easier for other sharks to win a fight against the hammerhead. According to many experts

Sage Teachout Mrs. Hildebrand English 101 October 16, 2017 Fishing for Answers Overfishing- to deplete the stock of fish in a body of water by too much fishing. Overfishing can be defined in many way, all of them leading to the same conclusion: Catching too many fish is bad for the environment. Overfishing is an unsustainable use of the oceans. Overfishing occurs because fish are captured at a faster rate than they can reproduce. Also advances in fishing technology and an increased demand for fish
