Oceanic whitetip sharks are large pelagic sharks characterized by their rounded white-tipped fins and investigative nature. Oceanic whitetips are apex predators feeding primarily on tuna, mackerel, and squid. They are highly prized for their fins in shark fin soup, and populations worldwide have decreased by 90%. This is due to overfishing and bycatch from longlines, resulting in oceanic whitetip sharks now being critically endangered.
