Overview
- Juvenile great white sharks gather in nurseries in shallow waters near the shore, where temperatures range between 16 and 22°C.
- These findings are crucial for informing conservation strategies and ensuring safer interactions between sharks and swimmers.
- Researchers used advanced tagging and tracking technologies to study shark behavior and environmental preferences.
- The studies indicate that juvenile sharks adjust their depth based on temperature, maximizing growth efficiency.
- Future research aims to explore the social behaviors of juveniles and the broader ecological implications of their habitat preferences.
