“The blacktip shark<\/strong> has a stout, fusiform<\/a> body with a pointed snout, long gill slits<\/a>, and no ridge between the dorsal fins<\/a>. Most individuals have black tips or edges on the pectoral<\/a>, dorsal, pelvic<\/a>, and caudal fins<\/a>. It usually attains a length of 1.5\u00a0m (4.9\u00a0ft).<\/p>\n

Swift, energetic piscivores<\/a>, blacktip sharks are known to make spinning leaps out of the water while attacking schools of small fish. Their demeanor has been described as “timid” compared to other large requiem sharks. Both juveniles and adults form groups of varying size. Like other members of its family, the blacktip shark is viviparous<\/a>; females bear one to 10 pups every other year. Young blacktip sharks spend the first months of their lives in shallow nurseries, and grown females return to the nurseries where they were born to give birth themselves. In the absence of males, females are also capable of asexual reproduction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Normally wary of humans, blacktip sharks can become aggressive in the presence of food and have been responsible for a number of attacks<\/a> on people. This species is of importance to both commercial<\/a> and recreational fisheries<\/a> across many parts of its range, with its meat, skin, fins, and liver oil used. It has been assessed as Near Threatened<\/a> by the IUCN<\/a>, on the basis of its low reproductive rate and high value to fishers.” \u00a0More background here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re big advocates of catch and release, particularly for snook, but pretty much\u00a0for most species. \u00a0Only take what you are going to eat, and a lot of fish are better off as sportfish, even if they are in season. \u00a0Our motto is let \u2018em get bigger and catch \u2018em again!<\/p>\n
