About this deal

Sharks primary sensory structures are the lateral line, pit organs, and ampullae of Lorenzini. Here’s how they work: Some sharks have homocercal tails, where the upper and lower tail lobes are the same size, or symmetrical. A symmetrical tail can propel a shark through the water at high speeds. A great example of this tail is the shortfin mako whose latin name, Isurus oxyrinchus, means “same tail, pointy snout.” The shortfin mako can have swim bursts up to 90 miles per hour! Odds

As our paper points out, despite the fact that the number of sharks released has a negligible influence on the stability of the overall wild populations of S. canicula and S. stellaris, it positively impacts shark conservation efforts by attracting public attention and fosters cooperation with relevant stakeholders, including aquariums, dive centres and schools. Sharks invest a lot of energy into producing a few, well-developed young. There are 3 main methods of reproduction: oviparity (egg-laying), ovoviviparity and vivparity (live birth). In my opinion, this was one of the best, most direct and novel hands-on approaches to shark conservation I had come across. Not only did it result in a positive outcome from the result of direct action but the potential for public engagement for this type of project was huge.

Fin-mounted technology, such as accelerometers and cameras, are used to collect data about the movement of a shark’s body. They record video of a shark’s behavior and the ocean environment. Accelerometers use the same technology as cellphones to determine the pitch, roll, yaw, and speed of the animal as it swims. Fin-mounted cameras have helped researchers make discoveries about coral reefs , seagrass beds , and white shark feeding behavior . Spaghetti, Dart, or Roto Tags This project by Sharklab-Malta is one that can be adopted and adapted for oviparous elasmobranch species worldwide. For example, I have successfully replicated this with S. canicula landed in the North Sea. It is without a doubt valuable for future conservation efforts. References Tens of millions of sharks are killed each year and many populations continue to decline at an alarming rate.

Senses and Sensibilities

Friedrich, LA, Jefferson, R, Glegg, G, 2014. Public perceptions of sharks: gathering support for shark conservation. Marine Policy 47, 1–7. Greg’s preliminary work in 2012 soon expanded with the recruitment of Lydia Koehler as science officer, Pamela Mason as education coordinator and Dave Mason as membership coordinator. All three, plus numerous volunteers, were (and still are) involved in eggcase recovery and retrieval from the fish market. This, combined with the aquaria maintenance and shark husbandry information I supplied, all coincided with the opening of the Malta National Aquarium in October 2013. But how is any of this possible? Well, it’s largely due to the specific species chosen for this approach. Adopt a Great White Shark today and you'll be supporting vital Great White Shark research in the USA.
