can you own them as pets

[TheSharkWrangler]

@baldwinjackson41

Yes, you can. You need a very large aquarium though, over 20 feet is best.

you made this shark mad. when he grows up he will eat you and put you under water :D and i will laught

@taxona100

He will only be 39 inches long. He will have a hard time eating me. But, he has the right to try it. LOL

The Sandbar is exploding in population now. They have a little less competition from certain larger species now and are thriving. There is NO legitimate population study of ANY species of North Atlantic Shark that can conclusively demonstrate a real assessment of stock. I have tried to conduct a study or get one done but no one will do it correctly or fund it. However, as I collect constantly, I see the volume and trend in Atlantic species more than anyone else anywhere.

I disagree with that CONSTRUCT of ecology. Predators control NOTHING! They feed on each other and lower level organisms. They are the BYPRODUCT OF trophic levels below them NOT the definers of biotic population! The Sharpnose has DECREASED slightly in the last 30 years. BUT, a slight increase recently is a function of fish & turtle excluders and a short term temperature increase. This will change given the commencement of the 22 cooling cycle.

Thank you for posting.

@darkstar19

Clearly you are uneducated and only know propaganda! Finning is dead in most US waters due to landing regulations against them. Also, this is a child friendly channel. YOU AR NOW BLOCKED!

[squalus18]

Secondly, I disagree with your final statement. You seem to insinuate that marine ecosystems have a bottom up control, when we know most systems are top down controlled. That is, Top Oceanic Predators (TOPS) control the trophic levels below them, which leads to a simultaneous increase of mesopredator populations in the next trophic level down (like our little Rhizoprionodon friend in the video, who has had major population booms over the past 30 years.)

Otherwise, great identification video

@TheSharkWrangler

I am going to have to disagree with you here. Firstly, I hardly consider the Sandbar Shark, which has seen a population decline of 87% over the past 30 years, to be a species in need of "overprotection." And I would be one to claim that more shark attacks comes from our growing population. We all know our population is growing, and research shows that great shark species are, as a whole, declining. The more people involved in aquatic recreation, a larger chance for attacks.

@ladysblues yeah what he said
