What is known about cookiecutter shark (Isistius spp.) interactions with cetaceans in Cape Verde seas?
- In the North Atlantic, the waters surrounding the Cape Verde Islands are a "potential hot spot" for cookiecutter shark Isistius spp. interactions with cetaceans. These occurrences were recently identified by the improved efforts of researchers to document cetacean strandings in the Cape Verde archipelago, as well as by the photo identification efforts of live whales and dolphins. The documentation of individual and mass stranding events confirmed that cookiecutter shark interactions with cetaceans in Cape Verde seas are remarkably common.
- No Atlântico Norte, as águas que rodeiam as Ilhas de Cabo Verde constituem um ‘hot spot’ potencial para os tubarões-charuto Isistius spp., bem como para interações destes com cetáceos. As ocorrências foram identificadas em resultado de esforços recentes de investigadores para documentar arrojamentos de cetáceos no arquipélago de Cabo Verde, bem como através de fotografias de baleias e golfinhos vivos. A documentação quer de indivíduos quer de arrojamentos múltiplos de cetáceos confirmou que as interações destes com os tubarões-charuto nos mares de Cabo Verde são consideravelmente frequentes.
