Do Mako Sharks have any relationships?
Yes makos have relationships. Symbiotic one with a ramora. the ramora attaches itself to the mako and is there for cleaning purposes of the mako and the mako offers it protection nad food. works out well for both of them. Makos in the 200-600 lb. range are common catches for anglers on the East Coast. When you are talking about heavier makos than that, they will be females since male makos over 600 lbs are rare. If it’s a “grander” it ‘s a female. Those big makos don’t seem to slow down with size or age. They just present you with bigger problems. You don’t have to leave New England, and go to an exotic location to encounter the world’s largest makos. We have the mako catches here to prove that. There are two species of mako. The other mako species, the longfin, Isurus paucus, is not in our waters. It is found farther offshore in the Gulf Stream and on down to the Caribbean. When anglers use the word mako, they are in almost every case referring to the shortfin mako, Isurus oxyrinchus.
