Preliminary findings reveal movement patterns of galapagos sharks in relation to diel cycle and season, indicating important management needs.

Galapagos sharks showed extensive movements, spanning approximately 400 km along the coastline.
Sharks were detected primarily in waters less than 100 m deep, but also reached depths of thousands of meters.
The movement patterns changed notably between day and night, with more detections occurring at night.
These findings signal crucial insights into the biology and management of galapagos sharks along continental coastlines.

Wetherbee et al. (2025) studied this question.
