Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) are nocturnal feeders on small fish, crabs, molluscs and tunicata - a rather strange (and small) filter feeder found at depths greater than 200 metres - and even algae and coral. It is not a fish we could say that it has a 'gourmet' diet...
This shark is a slow bottom sea swimmer, and fishing do not threats this shark.
However, the nurse shark (although it may reach sizes of 4 metres and more) may be a prey of more agressive sharks, like great whites and tiger sharks.
In general terms, we could say nurse sharks do not have many predators.
