SHARK BLUE (Prionace glauca)


A teenager from Amesbury,Ethan Lynch, who caught an enormous blue shark last week in waters off Newburyport may have gotten more than the thrill of a lifetime. It was 12-foot per 458 pound.


Angler Bob Pollard fishing off coast Cornwall, England, reel in this 112 kilos - 248 pound blue shark.

SHARK BLUE (Prionace glauca) habitat: Tropical and temperate open ocean environments. In some areas migrates into shallow water at night. Abundance and distribution: Circumglobal. The Blue shark probably has the greatest range of any shark species. Once extremely abundant, over-fishing has caused a worldwide population crash.
