Description
A reassessment of the diet of the Atlantic sharpnose shark Rhizoprionodon terraenovae was conducted to provide an update on their trophic level (n390). Rhizoprionodon terraenovae primarily consume teleost fish however, loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta were also found in the diet for the first reported time. Analysis suggests that calculated trophic level may significantly depend on geographic area, thus adding a new factor to fishery management decisions.
