Interesting story on mako sharks

very interesting, it also shows how many are being taken from the sea if one boat can catch so many without even trying to catch them.

This is similar to the split in the North Pacific between male and female salmon sharks. Most or all of the salmon sharks that have been caught and/or tagged along the west coast have been females, while those caught off Russia and Japan are males. Some biologists think that the males and females meet near Hawaii to mate. Sounds like a similar thing is happening with South Pacific makos. Some people think white sharks may congregate at or near the same spot as the mating salmon sharks, at a place that has earned the nickname Shark Café.

Interesting; seems like other species hang out together by sex as well. The male great whites come into Guadelupe a couple of months before the females, most of the Tigers I saw at Tiger Beach were female etc.

The sexual harassment theory makes sense.

I wonder if I can get me ol' lady to agree to an arrangement like this?

intersting stuff isn't it.

This is the sort of thing we are pumping through Wetpixels Twitter Feed

Tweeted about it almost 2 days ago from seeing someone else mention it.
