Use of an acceleration data logger to measure diel activity patterns in captive whitetip reef sharks, Triaenodon obesus
Traditional telemetry methods have been used to quantify the horizontal and vertical displacement of marine species, but are unable to identify specific physical activities such as swimming or gliding, resting, foraging, or spawning. We tested the utility of an acceleration data logger to quantify activity patterns of three captive whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus) in an enclosed lagoon ...
متن کاملUnexpected Positive Buoyancy in Deep Sea Sharks, Hexanchus griseus, and a Echinorhinus cookei
We do not expect non air-breathing aquatic animals to exhibit positive buoyancy. Sharks, for example, rely on oil-filled livers instead of gas-filled swim bladders to increase their buoyancy, but are nonetheless ubiquitously regarded as either negatively or neutrally buoyant. Deep-sea sharks have particularly large, oil-filled livers, and are believed to be neutrally buoyant in their natural ha...
متن کاملA new acoustic tailbeat transmitter for ®shes
A new acoustic transmitter for monitoring the tailbeat frequency of free-swimming ®shes and sharks is described. The transmitter is externally mounted on the ®sh's caudal peduncle and produces an acoustic pulse with every lateral movement of the tail. Field tests on obligate-swimming juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) show these transmitters accurately telemeter tailbeat de ̄e...
متن کاملThe response of gastric pH and motility to fasting and feeding in free swimming blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus
In many fish and reptiles, gastric digestion is responsible for the complete breakdown of prey items into semi-liquid chyme. The responses of the stomach to feeding and to periods of fasting are, however, unknown for many lower vertebrates. We inserted data loggers into the stomachs of free-swimming captive adult blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) to quantify gastric pH, motility ...
متن کاملDiel and tidal rhythms in diving behaviour of pelagic sharks identified by signal processing of archival tagging data
Patterns of vertical movement in pelagic predators can be highly complex, reflecting behaviours such as foraging, thermoregulatory excursions and spawning. Here we used fast Fourier analysis to identify periodicity in the vertical movements of 6 basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus from archival tagging data that totalled 595 d. We analysed quantitatively fine-scale vertical movements of basking s...
