Many plankton species drift passively and can be displaced easily by turbulence.
Slow, steady swimming minimizes water turbulence that might disperse plankton swarms before they enter the shark’s mouth. Efficient filtration depends on maintaining prey density directly ahead of the gape.

A sudden burst of speed from a five-meter body could disrupt the very organisms it depends on. Its feeding success relies on hydrodynamic restraint rather than aggressive pursuit.
This delicate balance between body scale and prey fragility illustrates how gigantism in plankton feeders requires precision, not power, to remain energetically viable.
