	MAKO SHARK
		Mako, fl tip, tiger, blue, thresher, spiny dogfish, smooth dogfish, sand, and sandbar are the sharks caught off the Mid-Atlantic coast and typically found in seafood markets throughout the region at various times during the year.
		Mako sharks inhabit oceanic tropical and warm, temperate waters in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Caribbean.
		Yet shark meat can also be skinned and cut into chunks and stir-fried, or you may poach the meat and use it in a salad.

	Shortfin mako shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The closely related longfin mako shark, Isurus paucus, is found in the Gulf Stream or warmer offshore waters.
		The shortfin mako shark is a yolk-sac ovoviviparous shark, meaning it gives birth to live young who feed from a sac full of yolk in the womb.

		Makos have been known to feed on dolphins, porpoise and blue sharks and are known for being able to leap high into the air.
		Both types of mako are heavily built with the trademark strong caudal keels that are a common feature among lamnids such as white sharks, porbeagles and salmon sharks.

		The mako shark is found around the world in warm and temperate seas, in the Pacific from Oregon to Chile, and juvenile makos are common in southern California during the summer months.

	Shortfin mako shark what is a Mako shark
		The stomach contents of sharks caught in gillnets off Natal, South Africa, showed a 60 to 40 ratio of shark to bony fish, while a study from the northeastern United States found 77.5 percent of the mako diet was bluefish.
		Shortfin makos are caught with trolled baits and lures as well as with live or dead baits fished from anchored or drifting boats.
		“Makos are commercially caught by the sword fishing fleet and by most of the tuna fleet in tremendous numbers, so one being caught by recreational fishermen would have a negligible impact on the populations,” Castro said.

	Biology of the Longfin Mako
		The Longfin Mako's large eyes indicate that it is a deep-dwelling species and suggest that it may be a visual hunter.
		Off Montauk, New York, another Shortfin Mako of about 800 pounds (365 kilograms) was observed biting the tail off a Swordfish of undetermined size; when the shark was landed, it was found to contain about 150 pounds (68 kilograms) of Swordfish flesh*.
		The shark and a large Swordfish were feeding in the same vicinity drawn by the same concentration of prey - the Longfin Mako in its low-energy way, the Swordfish in its characteristic high-speed manner.

		The reproduction and parturition of the mako and the porbeagle are thought to be similar.
		Makos have particularly long teeth, which are not serrated like those of their infamous cousin, the great white, nor are they cusped like those of their relative, the porbeagle.
		This occurs to a limited extent with the mako, but its lower teeth are always erect and serve to give this shark, in life as well as in death, a snaggletoothed and fearful visage.

	Mako Shark Research-Graham
		Because sharks are exceptionally vulnerable to fishing pressure and because the bight is a nursery ground for newborn and juvenile sharks, biologists have expressed concerns that gillnetting might cause the mako shark population to crash suddenly and remain chronically suppressed.
		Tagged sharks ranged from 75 centimeters (the length of a newborn) to 150 centimeters (the length of a two- or three-year-old) and weighed between 6 kilograms and 45 kilograms.
		Sharks were also observed to continue foraging after being tagged, suggesting the tags had not altered normal activity—a concern when basing scientific findings solely on observations of tagged animals.

		The whale shark and the basking shark, two plankton feeders that are characterized by slow and ponderous movements, have keels on their tail structure, and the tiger shark, not known for speed, also shows this characteristic.
		Only makos and porbeagles were tested, but white sharks, the third member of the family, were examined, and showed the same structural modifications, so it is safe to assume that they share this ability.
		A pregnant mako has been examined, and it was found to contain ten embryos, five male and five female, ranging in size from 25 inches to 27.5 inches.

		Shortfin mako sharks have a fairly narrow preferred temperature range of approximately 17 - 22° C (62.6 -71.6° F).
		The mako is one of the so-called "supersharks." It is steely blue in color with a long pointed snout and curved, dagger-like teeth.
		It is believed to be the fastest of all the sharks and definitely holds the record for both long distance travel and for spectacular leaps out of the water.

	Sharks; Mako (Isurus spp.), sharks' fins stripped for medicinal purposes. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Mako Shark is highly sought for its tender meat, and especially in Asian markets, for their shark fins which have even greater value for medicinal purposes.
		As with most shark species, Mako Sharks are particularly susceptible to overfishing because they have long life cycles, resulting in the species being fished twice as fast as they are able to produce.
		Mako Sharks mature in seven to twelve years and only then produce small litters of baby sharks in their lifetime.

		The mako sharks are an easily recognizable shark exhibiting all the traits of a Lamnid, they are an extremely robust and streamlined pelagic shark with well developed eyes (larger in the Longfin) and an endothermic circulatory system (warm bloodedness) that is known to maintain elevated muscle temperatures of up to.6°C above the ambient water temperature.
		Mako sharks have five large gill slits, well-developed eyes (slightly larger in the Longfin) and pronounced knife-like, non-serrated teeth.

	The Shark Gallery - Shortfin Mako Shark
		A notably dark form of mako, apparently of this species, is endemic to Azorean waters and has large areas of dorsal pigment intruding latero-ventrally at the snout and posterior body, rather similar in guise to the longfin mako, Isurus paucus.
		The swiftest of all sharks, shortfin makos are major predators of a wide range of pelagic fish, including mackerel, scad, tunas, bullet tunas, bonito and swordfish; occasionally taking demersal fish, other sharks, rays, cephalopods and apparently marine turtles.
		Their predatory relationship to swordfish is poorly known, but it is clear from regional data that these sharks can find their prey a dangerous adversary, as demonstrated by recent cases (at Ganzirri and Isola Lipari, Sicily) of makos stranding dead or moribund with amputated swordfish bills impaled in their gills and heads.
