Overview: about zebra shark
Large nocturnal reef predator found over coral reefs and sandy flats in the Indo-Pacific, including Australian waters. Target with baits or lures worked on or near the bottom in 10-60m, particularly at night. Big zebra sharks put up a strong fight and are worth eating, but be aware of their spiny skin and sharp teeth.
