Although flatfishes make up part of the diet, blue sharks predominantly eat pelagic fishes such as herring, silver hake, white hake, red hake, cod, haddock, pollock, mackerel, butterfish , sea raven, tuna and swordfish.
The species is known as the little pied cormorant in Australia and as the little shag or by the Māori name of kawaupaka in New Zealand. The name "cormorant" comes from the Latin corvus marinus meaning "sea raven".
