I wonder what they saw on their journey! This study used @Tags4Wildlife SPOT tags to track 9 mako sharks over the course of four years. The sharks were movers travelling across at least 12 jurisdictional boundaries. https://t.co/xbqnd78FEa https://t.co/vYZ
https://t.co/eTA1wuEf3Y Guessing this is the paper the show is based on. I don’t think long migrations are unusual for makos at all. 🤷♂️
Shortfin Mako sharks are being overfished in the Gulf of Mexico, which is likely a mating ground. Unfortunately, these sharks often migrate through the waters of countries that have no regulations on their fishing. https://t.co/XPQBZ1SLOi. #BIOL2300_002_as
The Mako shark population has declined from things such as overfishing. In this study, Mako sharks were tracked to analyze their migratory and mating patterns. This is important in order to conserve this species. https://t.co/cvIfrZSrwL #BIOL2300_002_a
