What symbiotic relationships does the hammerhead shark have?

Answer 1

Hammerheads are one of the medium sized species of sharks, which make them an easy target for fishermen. Their fins are a delicacy. As a result of overfishing, hammerhead numbers have fallen drastically in many of their habitats. Fishermen usually cut off their fins and toss the remainder of the fish into the sea to die a horrible death. Loss of habitat is another danger to these sharks. Because of widespread uncontrolled hunting, hammerheads are considered an "endangered" species. Unless hunting them is stopped soon, these species may become extinct very soon.

Answer 2

The Hammerhead Shark, has a very intense symbiotic relationship with a rare animal found of the coast of the Indian ocean, called the Grey Bionclay Fly Fish. The Grey Bionclay Fly Fish lives inside the Hammerhead Shark's left nostril. It constantly uses a vacum like object located on its belly to suck out parasites. The Hammerhead Shark in return, provides these parastites as food for the Bionclay Fly Fish. The Bionclay Fly Fish then returns back to it's summer nostril shaped home on the coast of the Indian Ocean when it is full.
