Cookie-cutter shark Isistius brasiliensis eats Bryde’s whale Balaenoptera brydei

Ichthyological Research, 2018
We examined the stomach contents of cookie-cutter sharks, Isistius brasiliensis, collected by drift-net surveys in the western North Pacific in the early summer. The stomachs contained fresh flesh plugs and cephalopod beaks. Approximately half of the flesh plugs were identified as Bryde’s whale, Balaenoptera brydei, based on genetic analysis, and ...

Foraging ecology of Cookiecutter Sharks (Isistius brasiliensis) on pelagic fishes in Hawaii, inferred from prey bite wounds

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2010
TheCookiecutter Shark(Isistius brasiliensis) is an ecto-parasitic predator of numerous large pelagic fish and mammals. However, little is known of its foraging ecology due to its elusive foraging tactics in the pelagic environment. We used bite scar patterns on pelagic fishes landed at the Honolulu Fish Auction to assess some of the Cookiecutter Shark ...

Observation of an Attack by a Cookiecutter Shark (Isistius brasiliensis) on a White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias)

Pacific Science, 2013
Cookiecutter sharks (Isistius brasiliensis) are known to attack a wide array of large animals including pelagic fishes, cetaceans, and pinnipeds. Here we add another top predator, the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), to the list of potential victims.

A predatory use of counterillumination by the squaloid shark, Isistius brasiliensis

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1998
A number of very unusual morphological and behavioral characteristics attributed to the cookie-cutter shark, Isistius brasiliensis, may be explained by a novel use of counterillumination. Specifically, it is proposed that a band of pigment, located beneath the jaw and bounded by ventrally directed bioluminescence, acts as a lure which mimics the search

The Diet and Dentition of Isistius brasiliensis, with Remarks on Tooth Replacement in Other Sharks

Copeia, 1963
Twenty-two central Pacific specimens of the pelagic shark Isistius brasiliensis were captured by midwater trawls and plankton nets operated at night. Eight specimens were dissected; their anatomy was typically squalid and their diet consisted principally of squid.
