The blue shark is a large oceanic fish with a long slender body and bright blue coloration on the back. It lives in the open ocean almost worldwide and swims quickly.
The blue shark differs from other sharks with its very long pectoral fins and bright blue coloration. It is important for the ocean because it regulates the population of fish and other animals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
