Lemon
Shark
The lemon shark gets its name because of its pale yellow brown coloring; at certain depths, light interacting with the local seawater can give this shark a tanned and yellow pitted appearance, much like the surface of a lemon. It inhabits coastal inshore waters from New Jersey (US) to Southern Brazil, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean and along Senegal and the Ivory Coast of Africa in the eastern Atlantic.
Lemon sharks only get 8 to 10 feet long and live well in captivity, thus their behaviors are better know than other sharks. The lemon shark is also known to form loose aggregations and based on size and sex it have been seen congregating near docks and fishing piers during the night, returning to deep water during the day.
THESE SHARKS ARE NOT CAUGHT FOR THEIR JAWS. All shark jaws are obtained from the legal fishing industry in the Philippines and off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. These sharks are caught for their hides & meat. The jaws & teeth are sold as a collectible to recycle 100% of the shark.
We do not support sport fishing, illegal taking of sharks, we don't even eat in restaurants that serve Shark Fin soup due to the cruel and wasteful nature of shark finning. We do not catch sharks ourselves.
