This study examines how the morphology of Mediterranean blue sharks (Prionace glauca ) changes throughout their development. Using linear and geometric morphometrics, it reveals that juveniles and adults differ in fin and head shape, reflecting adaptations to different ecological and swimming demands.

Feeding frenzy may lead non‐traumatogenic shark species to predate a human, despite this not being an instinctive prey item. As a first step, an initial non‐predatory bite (not targetting the human as a prey) can trigger multiple feeding stimuli (mainly sounds and blood smelling) attracting sharks in the area.
