Do White Shark Bites on Surfers Reflect Their Attack Strategies on Pinnipeds?

Table 1

Log-log regression between average interdental distance (IDD) or bite circumference (BC) and total body length of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, based on Lowry et al. (2009) [18]. Average interdental distance and bite circumference represent the dependent variables, whereas total length is the independent variable. = correlation coefficient; = significance level.
