White sharks are among the largest, most widespread apex predators in the ocean, but are also among the most vulnerable. A new study, the most comprehensive ever on seasonal distribution patterns and historic trends in abundance of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in the western North Atlantic Ocean, used records compiled over more than 200 years to update knowledge and fill in gaps in information about this species. The study by scientists from NOAA Fisheries Service, including a number from the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), and colleagues was published in the journal PLOS ONE.
