Why are sharks called apex predators?

Whether an animal is called an apex predator or not depends on a few definitions. The first is what one considers a predator. Many (but not all!) shark species are large carnivores, but only a very few species are considered to be at the top of the food web (and even then, only in a particular ecosystem or setting). They may eat a wide range of other animals, including fish, squid, marine mammals, crustaceans (crabs and shrimps), gastropods (snails) and other sharks. These characteristics define some shark species as predators if they hunt their prey rather than scavenge animals that are already dead. A few sharks also have no natural predators in their specific habitat or ecosystem (that is, only until another predator moves into the area – but more about that later). For this reason, they could be considered apex predators, but only really in that context. Sharks that fit this definition include species of large, coastal sharks like white shark, bull shark and tiger shark. In the open ocean environment, species like the oceanic whitetip could be considered apex predators. Large predatory sharks also tend to be what ecologists call K-strategists: they grow slowly, breed later, have fewer offspring and live longer. Many shark species invest significant energy in producing their young and so their population is smaller overall. This contrasts with other marine fish, which tend to be ‘live fast, die young’ R-strategists that broadcast spawn, producing millions of eggs that are fertilised externally. Although the K-strategy does not define sharks as apex predators, the life-history characteristics that make them particularly vulnerable are often shared with many other apex predator species. Overall, many predatory shark species are highly endangered and are threatened by overfishing, illegal trade, habitat loss, pollution and climate change – a predicament we can associate with many predators, but not really use to define sharks necessarily as apex predators So large predatory sharks are sometimes considered top-order predators, but as you’ll come to see, the term ‘apex’ is problematic when it becomes fixed.

Who is the Queen of shark?

Nukumi, who has been coined “Queen of the Ocean” is the largest white shark tagged by OCEARCH to date in the Northwest Atlantic. Researchers believe she is over 50 years old and her immense scars mark her decades in the ocean. Nukumi's movements have been studied using the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker.

OCEARCH first met Nukumi (pronounced noo-goo-mee) in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in October of 2020 and she has since traveled 5,570 miles down the eastern United States and then out to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Nukumi, who has been coined “Queen of the Ocean” is the largest white shark tagged by OCEARCH to date in the Northwest Atlantic. Researchers believe she is over 50 years old and her immense scars mark her decades in the ocean. Nukumi’s movements have been studied using the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker. A Smart Position and Temperature (SPOT) tag was mounted on Nukumi’s dorsal fin when she was sampled and tagged by OCEARCH last October. This SPOT tag utilizes satellites to send Nukumi’s location every time she reaches the surface. OCEARCH’s Global Shark Tracker shows that Nukumi headed farther offshore after leaving the Carolinas region in February and has now officially left the Northwest Atlantic and entered the Northeast Atlantic. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the fracture zone running north and south down the middle of the Atlantic, dividing its western and eastern halves. Migratory species including white sharks rarely cross the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, leaving one side of the Atlantic and entering another.
