The blue shark is usually replaced as the common large pelagic shark in areas of warm surface water. It is present in Mediterranean, Adriatic sea Croatia, absent from the Baltic and Red Seas, and absent or extremely rare in the Gulf of Mexico .
It is easily recognizable by its brilliant blue color. It is cobalt or indigo blue dorsally, lightening to bright blue and white on the belly.
Larger teeth of the upper jaw are "saber-shaped" with one broadly convex, the other concave. The teeth are serrated along the edges. Those in the lower jaw are narrower and very sharp. The keels and spiracles are absent on this species. They are pelagic, migratory and travel alone.
In spite of its voracious and predatory nature and swiftness in the water, it sometimes puts up a poor fight when hooked. Fishing methods include chumming with live or dead baits or trolling. Baits include squid, eels, mackerel herring and other live or whole fishes as well as cut baits. The blue shark is viviparous, giving birth to 50 or mom young at a time Maturity occurs at a length of 7 or 8 feet (2.0 to 2.3 m).
