white shark
White shark (Carcharodon carcharias) populations are frequently centred in highly productive temperate coastal waters (that is, waters characterized by an abundance of fishes and marine mammals).
While some white sharks remain within their feeding areas throughout the year, others engage in extensive migrations. Research indicates that white sharks off the coast of California have been tracked migrating as far as Hawaii.1
