: The Blue shark (Prionace glauca) is a globally distributed pelagic shark species belonging to the family Carcharhinidae. Known for its slender body and distinctive blue coloration, this species is found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. Blue sharks are opportunistic feeders, preying on a variety of fish, cephalopods, and small sharks. They are highly migratory, often traveling long distances in search of food. Despite their widespread distribution, blue shark populations have experienced declines due to overfishing, particularly for their fins. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this species and ensure its survival in the world's oceans.
