10月夏威夷的鲨鱼袭击高峰期为10月,原因是老虎鲨鱼为幼崽而迁徙,但总体风险仍然较低。 Shark attacks in Hawaii peak in October due to tiger sharks migrating for pupping, though overall risk remains low.

根据夏威夷大学1995-2024年的一项研究, 10月夏威夷水域的鲨鱼攻击达到峰值, 被称为“Sharktober”, Shark attacks in Hawaiian waters peak in October, known as "Sharktober," with 20% of all recorded bites occurring then, according to a University of Hawaii study of 1995–2024 data. 增加的主要原因是老虎鲨鱼在幼鱼季节迁移到近岸地区,至少占事件总数的63%。 The increase is mainly due to tiger sharks, which make up at least 63% of incidents, migrating to nearshore areas during their pupping season. 分娩的能源需求可能会迫使产后女性更多觅食,从而增加遇到的风险。 Energy demands of giving birth may drive postpartum females to forage more, raising encounter risks. 科学家们强调总体风险仍然很低,但建议谨慎行事,特别是对于单方海洋活动。 Scientists stress the overall risk remains low but recommend caution, especially for solo ocean activities. 今后的研究将跟踪鲨鱼在这一期间的移动和健康情况。 Future research will track shark movements and health during this period.
