The Lanceshark is a large aquatic omnivore/eater that is native to Mer (Reaver's Deep 2414).
Physiology & Ecology
The Lanceshark is known for its prominent "lance," a reinforced bone and sword-like structure at the front of its piscine body, a "nose" in common parlance, which bears a superficial similarity to the Terran Swordfish.
There are a number of different "Lanceshark" species ranging from as little as 18.0cm in length to the monstrous "Great Blue Lanceshark" that typically measures up to 8.0m in length and weighs nearly 3,500kg. Typically, the smaller subspecies are enjoyed by local sophonts as a foodstuff. The larger breeds are simply too hard to catch ad breed too slowly to be a sustainable food species.
The Lanceshark is a migratory creature, whose schools can cover half the globe in the course of a lifetime.
With a high reproductive rate, the harvesting of these schools by the raft communities has not significantly damaged the Lancesharks.
The main competition for the raft communities for these schools is the large, stupid, but dangerous Gulperwhales.
