Hi All
Just to add a bit of interest maybe to the shark tagging. The Shark Boat =
featured on the CTV news last night and in the Chronicle Herald today is =
out of Eastern Passage and has been affiliated with BIO and Dalhousie, =
providing measurements, sex, condition and lat/long of each shark =
caught. Tags have been provided to the Captain through BIO (I believe) =
and over the last 12 years of operation, they have tagged many hundreds =
of Blue Shark. One season alone the records showed over 500 caught and =
released. This is and has always been a catch and release venture =
attracting sport fisherman and others but with research and protection =
of the species elements.=20
In talking with the Captain last year, he mentioned that one of =
=E2=80=9Chis=E2=80=9D tagged Blue Sharks was recovered near Cuba but of =
all the tags, that has been the only one returned. To a much lesser =
extent, Porbeagle Sharks are caught, tagged and released. This because =
they are just not as plentiful I presume.
Best....Dave

Subject: [NatureNS] update on the shark tagging info' -- was 6690 peeps, =
Evangeline Beach, + Marnoon & shark-tagging, July 31/13
Last night CTV's late TV News showed some brief footage and the =
researchers involved, who were Dr. Fred Whoriskey and colleague Brendal =

Then today's Chronicle Herald's front page had a good article on this. =
See =
http://thechronicleherald.ca/metro/1145300-new-dal-president-joins-marine=

operation at sea.
Apparently both research projects are just beginning now and have =
funding? for a few years (4 years and 40 blue sharks, and ? years and 25 =
great white sharks?
Cheers from Jim.
Yesterday I wrote:=20
Marnoon & shark-tagging, July 31/13
My walk ended back at the parking lot at 11:50 a.m., just in time to =
hear Maritime Noon on CBC Radio. The first item on the show was about =
SHARK TAGGING and tracking off Nova Scotia with a sport-fishing company =
that was specially trained to help the research team of Dr. Warski? of =
Dalhousie University.
I think the show's host, Carmen Klassen?, was talking with Dr. =
Warski on the fishing boat, live, as they were catching, tagging, and =
releasing blue sharks, Nova Scotia's most abundant offshore shark. The =
fishers were implanting pinger tags??, and then the Ocean Tracking =
Network can track the movements of such sharks from their positioned =
tracking stations in lots of locations. It was mentioned that some of =
the blues migrate to waters near Sable Island, where the attractant is =
lots of young seals.
Also mentioned was that Massachusetts researcher colleagues have =
caught, tagged, and released numbers of great white sharks, which then =
migrate north and often into Nova Scotia waters (I remember reading =
about them in the Chronicle Herald a few months ago).
Carmen also mentioned that somehow their Web site at =
www.cbc.ca/maritimenoon/ contains live feeds from the fishing boat, =
photos on the Facebook site, twitters, etc. And check the Web site =
later today or tomorrow for the broadcast or the podcast of the whole =
show.
