Scientists document juvenile great white sharks’ diet

The study, published in Frontiers in Marine Science by researchers from the University of Sydney, analyzed the diet of 50 juvenile great white sharks caught by the NSW Shark Mesh program. It found that midwater fish like salmon made up 32% of their diet, while bottom-dwelling fish, reef fish, and battoid fish contributed 17%, 5%, and 15% respectively. Sharks also consume cephalopods and begin feeding on marine mammals and other sharks as they grow. The study also tracked the seasonal migration of Australia's great white sharks, noting their range from southern Queensland to northern Tasmania, which expands as they mature.
