ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I think if you dont yet have any sea tames, sharks are a good start, and your best bet for getting one is a baryonx or iguanodon. Bary is an obvious choice, but it isn't so easy to find a good one, so on a budget, a high level iguanodon is very underrated and will easily do the job. It is not so fast at sea so upgrade some move speed (you should anyway), but it is a decent fighter, typically with good enough weight and stamina (upgrade health and melee).
OR… a sarco, spino, a thylo, an anky, whatever you have that can swim really, would take out other lower level sharks easily, and then you can tame it with a dolphin.

Tame these guys from the back of a baryonyx. One stun attack and a few tranq arrows and you're set.
Best way to tame these big things that like to eat you.You get it to follow you to shore keep moving until it’s tail is straight up he or her is stuck and easy to tame put a up if this helps
What they're good for: I'd say they're good for defense mainly. You could also take them out hunting for fish food.
Where to find: ocean water
How to tame: get a crossbow and tranq arrows. Find a shark close to shore. Shoot shark and swim to shore, swim back out into water and shoot. Repeat this until shark is down. Feed meat and narcotics if necessary. *guaranteed to not get bitten this way*
I personally tame sharks, crypod them and go back to my base where I live right next to a small lake. I put 3-10 sharks in the lake and put them on wander and aggressive mode. If anyone or anything goes into the lake, they'll be dead in seconds. Also if I happen to be getting raided while online, I pick the raiders up with my bird and drop them into the shark infested lake. :)
Max their melee damage!
