Description

Watercolours and opaque white, 21x7,5cm. Inspired by various photos and finished during Shark Week 2014.

To me, the blue shark (Prionace glauca) is one of the most handsome sharks.

It’s probably the species of cartilaginous fishes with the biggest range of distribution. It’s viviparous and feeds mainly on other fish and squid.

Blue sharks very rarely attack humans. The dangerousness this species might represent for humans has been exaggerated for a long time, while 10 to 20 million of these sharks are killed each year as a result of fishing and hunting.

The blue shark isn’t listed as endangered officially, yet, but it’s IUCN status is “near threatened”.

Aquarell und Deckweiß, 21x7,5cm. Von verschiedenen Fotos inspiriert und während der Shark Week 2014 beendet.

Meiner Meinung nach ist der Blauhai (Prionace glauca) eine der hübschesten Hai-Arten.

Er ist vermutlich der am weitesten verbreitete Knorpelfisch, ist lebendgebärend und ernährt sich hauptsächlich von anderen Fischen und Kalmaren.

Angriffe auf den Menschen sind äußerst selten. Die Gefährlichkeit dieser Haiart für den Menschen wurde lange übertrieben dargestellt, während jährlich zwischen 10 und 20 Millionen Tiere als Beifang oder durch direkte Bejagung durch den Menschen sterben.

Offiziell gilt der Blauhai noch nicht als gefährdet, doch es besteht ein Gefährdungsrisiko (IUCN-Status: „near threatened“)
