The Frisk Laboratory utilizes the same technology as our other projects (Movement Ecology) to track the movement of coastal shark species. Sharks of interest include: Sand tiger, Sandbar, Dusky, Thresher, White, and opportunistically Blacktip and Spinner sharks. This information is used to indicate migration and residential patterns.
Movement of a thresher shark tagged and tracked by Dr. Lisa Crawford over three years.
