Sharks need healthy habitats, and some have a strong preference for locations jam-packed with food, according to FIU research. A recent study of Caribbean reef sharks in the Bahamas, where shark fishing has been banned for years, shows that the sharks don't seem to like places where prey is hard to find. Instead, they prefer to live where prey is most abundant. The research is published in the journal Animal Conservation.
