Although they were labeled with a variety of instruments intended to give off their location, including a spot tag on [url=http://www.brownsofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-terrance-west-jersey.ht... West Jersey[/url] their dorsal fins and a satellite transmitter on their fins, the sharks only give off a signal when they come to the surface.
With one of the aquatic world's biggest predators, that can make for rare appearances.
we get a transmission is highly variable, Mote shark scientist Robert Hueter said. They water breathing sharks with gills, so they don't have to ever come to the surface.
How often the scientists receive [url=http://www.brownsofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-terrance-west-jersey.ht... a signal from the sharks depends on their behavior, Hueter said.
But Betsy, now 120 miles off Boca Grande, can go unnoticed for months at a time. She sent no transmission from Dec. 12 until April 18, when she was found 60 miles off of Sanibel.
These behavioral differences indicate that sharks as a species do not always follow stereotypical behavioral patterns, Hueter said.
underscores [url=http://www.brownsofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-christian-kirksey-jerse... the fact that these animals as individuals can behave differently, the Mote scientist said. is no one single stereotyped pattern for every shark.
Despite their size, both sharks were considered immature, meaning that they had not reached their full [url=http://www.brownsofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-pierre-desir-jersey.htm... mass and length.
Led by OCEARCH, a non profit organization dedicated to research on great whites, the project that tagged the sharks includes scientists from Mote and Dr. Greg Skomal from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, along with a number of participants from other institutions.
A previous version of this story misspelled Mote scientist Robert Hueter's last name.
