Preparation of fish heads with acoustic transmitters for bull sharks in Beqa Lagoon (00018052)
(2)
Description: In Pacific Harbour on Vitu Levu, Fiji, fish heads are prepared with acoustic transmitters to study the migration behavior of bull sharks. The study, initiated in 2004 by Dr. Juerg Brunnschweiler at the 'Shark Fin Reef' marine reserve in Beqa Lagoon, provides insights into the sharks' movement patterns. By inserting small transmitters into fish baits, researchers can track the location and range of the tagged bull sharks up to 800 meters.
