SYDNEY: Tiger sharks are being tagged by a team of researchers that have tracking devices with advanced technology. Within the past week, scientists have attached satellite tags on the Tiger sharks and taken blood samples from them. So far, 12 sharks have had the process done in the waters of Ningaloo in Australia.
Australia’s ABC Online news source reports that this team of researchers aboard the MV Ocearch goes around the world examining different sharks. They want to better understand the migration patterns of this species.
Australian Institute of Marine Science’s principal research scientist, Mark Meekan, is one of the researchers involved in the tagging of Tiger sharks. This species is top of the food chain and he says a lot is known about White sharks, but not Tiger sharks. Tagged Tiger sharks will be tracked so experts can gain better knowledge of them. The expedition will be focused up and down the Western Australia coast. Scientists hope to learn what the sharks are up to and where they’re going. Captured and tagged Tiger sharks are being tracked online at ocearch.
