Abstract:Carolina hammerheads Sphyrna gilberti and scalloped hammerheads S. lewini are cryptic species with an overlapping distribution, and young-of-the-year (YOY) use similar coastal and estuarine nursery areas along the US Southeast coast. The diet of scalloped hammerheads has been widely studied throughout their global distribution; however, little is known about their diet in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Carolina hammerheads have only been recently described, and as such, their trophic ecology is largely unst… Show more
