Many anglers point a finger at sharks for eating fish off their lines in the Gulf of Mexico .

John Sutter : Shark predation on captured fish isn’t new, but it’s hard to say how many sharks have been overfished since the 1930s .

Sutter says some shark populations are increasing, but human perceptions are also an important factor.

Shark deterrents are available, and new versions are continually being developed.

Some fishermen are changing their practices to avoid sharks for example, shifting locations frequently and never anchoring or fishing farther offshore.

NOAA -funded research has identified sandbar sharks and bull sharks as the species that prey most often on catch.
