There was some evidence that females preferred cooler waters than males, particularly in Spring months. On average, females also appeared to dive deeper in warmer temperatures (>26°C) relative to males.

Following the loss of white sharks from False Bay, both seals and sevengill sharks have increased in relative abundance, coinciding with declines in small fish that seals feed on and smaller sharks that sevengills prey upon.

New publication in @SciReports showing the effectiveness of electric deterrents to reduce risk of bites from white, tiger, and bull sharks.
These deterrents have now been tested on the three species responsible for the most fatal bites.

@SharkColin @icft2023 @IMOSAnimalTrack @ShioriSharky @JK_Matley @RobHarcourt @FabriceJaine @HuveneersSSEG Looks like an exciting talk! Is it based on a new paper or synthesising previous findings?

There's an official government petition to raise the PhD stipends in Australia to $45k. Their current rate of less than $30k makes it impossible to focus on research and will have long term impacts on Australian trained scientists. Sign it! aph.gov.au/e-petitions/pe…

@KirkendaleLisa @WestOzFish Gosh, bucket list photo for me too!

Yesterday I enjoyed Puffins, Razorbills and much more on Isle of May, Scotland. They may be in trouble because climate change and other factors are changing the distribution and size of their fish prey (sand eels). Not to mention avian flu…
