“Thresher sharks are large pelagic predators belonging to the genus Alopias, distinguished by their exceptionally long, whip-like caudal fins used to stun prey. These sharks are capable of significant vertical movement, typically ranging from the surface down to depths of about 500 meters, although some species have been recorded diving deeper. Their ability to tolerate varying temperatures allows them to exploit prey across different layers of the water column.”
