Blacktip sharks are found in tropical and subtropical coastal, shelf, and island waters in the Atlantic, where they migrate seasonally between Brazil and Nova Scotia; the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, throughout the Mediterranean, and along the central West coast of Africa. In the Pacific they range from Southern California to Peru, including the Sea of Cortez , the Galapagos Islands , Hawaii, Tahiti , and other South Pacific Islands , to the northern coast of Australia. In the Indian Ocean they range from South Africa and Madagascar up to the Red Sea , the Persian Gulf , throughout India's coasts, and east to the coast of China.

Blacktip sharks can be found in both inshore and offshore waters, but they tend to stay close to the coasts at depths of 30 m or less. They are often seen near river mouths, bays, and mangroves , although they do not penetrate far into freshwater like bull sharks.

Do sharks eat tuna?

Yes, when the stomach contents of various sharks were examined, tuna fish were occasionally found. However, generally speaking, tuna fish can swim faster than almost all species of sharks. Tuna fish are ranked among the fastest species in the ocean. Bluefin tunas, yellowfin tunas, and tunnys can swim especially fast. Marlins, sailfish, and wahoos can swim even faster than all species of tuna fish. Blue sharks can swim as fast as tuna fish but they prefer to eat squids and smaller fish instead of tuna fish, which they eat only occasionally. The oceanic whitetip shark, which occasionally eats humans after a ship sinks, is the exception. Despite swimming slower than all species of tuna fish, tuna fish are frequently found in the stomachs of oceanic whitetip sharks. Oceanic whitetip sharks wait for and ambush large schools of tuna fish. Canned tuna can contain skipjack tuna, albacore tuna, longtail (tonggol) tuna, or yellowfin tuna but never contains bigeye tuna or bluefin tuna because bigeye tuna and bluefin tuna end up being used for sashimi and sushi.
