Isurus oxyrinchus

This image of a mako shark was taken with an underwater pole camera during one of FRD's juvenile shark surveys off the coast of southern California near the Channel Islands. This shark was caught via longline, and tagged with a pop-off archival tag and a satellite tag to collect information on movement and diving patterns.
