ATSH ATL DIET (stomach contents of Atlantic sharpnose shark on east coast of FL (NCEI Accession 0164343)

Published by Southeast Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2017-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
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.
