Kortvin-mako
(

provided by wikipedia AF
Die kortvin-mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is 'n haai wat dwarsoor die wêreld voorkom in tropiese, sub-tropiese en gematigde water. In Engels staan die haai bekend as die Shortfin mako.
Voorkoms
Die haai is diepblou op die rug, die sye is silwer-blou en die pens is wit. Die kortvin-mako het 'n sterk stert en 'n gepunte kop met 'n sterk kakebeen wat vol skerp tande is. Hulle word tussen 25 tot 150 kg swaar in Suid-Afrika, terwyl enkele haaie van bykans 400 kg elders gevang is.
Habitat en gewoontes
Hulle vermy vlak water en hou in die oop water, en is alleenlopers. Hulle vreet enige mediumgrootte vis. Hulle kom veral voor naby riwwe in sandbaaie. Hulle verkies donkerder waters of warm, groenerige water. Hier vreet hulle klein vissies soos harders en ansjovis. Hulle word beide vanaf die kus en bote gevang en word deur die IUBN geklassifiseer as 'n kwesbare spesie.
Dit is nie 'n gewilde eetvis nie.

Description
provided by World Register of Marine Species
An aggressive and dangerous shark with fearsome-looking jaws. Found from the surface to at least 152 m. One of the most active species; when hooked on a fishing line may leap out of the water and has been reported to attack boats. Believed to be the fastest swimming shark (Ref. 9988). Found in coastal and oceanic waters. Prefers temperatures above 16°C (Ref. 9988). Feeds on schools of fish, small sharks, and swordfish (Ref. 5213). Utilized fresh, dried/salted, smoked and frozen; eaten broiled and baked (Ref. 9988). Valued for its fine quality meat as well as its fins and skin. Jaws and teeth are also sold as ornaments and trophies (Ref. 9988).
