    Similar to white sharks, salmon sharks have a slow growth and reproduction rate, making them susceptible to overfishing and overexploitation.

    Like other lamnid sharks, the shortfin mako shark has a heat-exchange circulatory system that allows the shark to be 4–5.5 °C (7–10 °F) warmer than the surrounding water. This system enables them to maintain a stable, very high level of activity, [26] giving it an advantage over its cold-blooded prey. [27]
