Abstract: One hundred seventeen specimens of sharks were caught along the coast of Pernambuco State, Northern Brazil, between May 2004 and May 2007, among which 86 were blacknose sharks, Carcharhinus acronotus, enabling a more detailed study of the species. Blacknose sharks were caught in the 2 study areas along the Boa Viagem/Piedade and Paiva beaches, accounting for the highest relative abundance among the species caught (73.5% of total). Potentially dangerous sharks, tiger and bull sharks, were also caught in the sam… Show more

“…Since 1992, the metropolitan region of Recife, Brazil, exhibits one the highest shark attack rates per unit of area in the world, accounting for 53 attacks which resulted in 20 fatalities. Relative abundances assessed off Recife (Fischer et al 2009), together with forensic analysis (Gadig andSazima 2003, Hazin et al 2008) indicated the tiger shark, Galeocerdo cuvier, and the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, to be responsible for most of the attacks. Both species are considered potentially aggressive and have been frequently implicated in attacks on humans worldwide (International Shark Attack File, http:// www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Sharks/ISAF/ISAF.htm.…”
