The casino buffet is glorious, but my hunger is mighty. They will sing songs of our actions on this day. #AES15 #JMIH15

The @HammerschlagLab team at #JMIH15 #AES15 - me, @sharksNwavess , @bigbluedesert and @ernelson114

If any #JMIH15 #aes15 peeps are still around, I'm hitting the casino buffet just as soon as I check out of my room

Yo #JMIH15 #aes15 , anyone still around today? My flight isn't until 6

The @SharkWeek swag bag is ready to raise some funds for students at the #AES15 @ElasmoSociety auction! Thanks!

THANK YOU @ASIHCopeia #JMIH15 #AES15! FINtastic research & AWESOME people! Keep up the great work & see you in 2016! http://t.co/lxQWUdb8GU

And that's it for #AES15 #JMIH15 talks! Thanks for reading our tweets! I'm offline and unplugged all next week. Be excellent to each other.

#AES15 Hoffmayer: Use spotters in a plane to locate whale sharks more easily

#AES15 Hoffmayer: Many of the whale sharks in these aggregations are juveniles. Believed to be aggregating to feed on spawning fish

#AES15 Hoffmayer: There have been over 650 reported sightings of whale sharks in the Gulf since 2003! Aggregations up to 150 whale sharks!

#AES15 Hoffmayer: For citizen scientist observers who see a whale shark aggregation, "a life-altering experience"

#AES15 Hoffmayer: "Everyone has their phone with them now, has video and camera, easy to collect data!"

#AES15 Hoffmayer: Whale shark aggregation data gathering includes a citizen science "call us and report it if you see one" component

#AES15 Hoffmayer: Whale shark aggregations were first documented in the Gulf of Mexico in 1939

#AES15 Hoffmayer: Whale sharks are known to aggregate at several places around the world, often associated with ecotourism

#AES15 Hoffmayer: (Title slide says ASIH not AES! SHUN THE NONBELIEVER! SHUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN)

The last *SNIFF* #AES15 talk of #JMIH15 is Eric Hoffmayer talking about Gulf of Mexico whale sharks!

(Bonnethead sharks are near and dear to my heart, one was in my previous twitter avatar) #AES15

#AES15 Frazier: With new data... it shows that Atlantic bonnethead sharks are overfished with overfishing occuring. Ruh roh.

#AES15 Frazier: One bonnethead shark recaptured by the same survey after 3,263 days!

#AES15 Frazier: You can determine how old a shark is just like with a tree- count annual growth rings! (In vertebrae)

#AES15 Frazier: Need more data to reliably assess bonnethead shark population status. Atlantic and Gulf populations may be separate

#AES15 Frazier: Bonnethead shark population was assessed in 2013. Not overfished, no overfishing occuring! #OceanOptimism

GREAT job with your first ever @ElasmoSociety presentation @ernelson114 ! #ProudAssistantInternCoordinator #AES15 #JMIH15

#AES15 @ernelson114 :Juvenile tiger sharks have a very large tail relative to their body size compared to adult tiger sharks

#AES15 @ernelson114 :Bigger tiger sharks don't need to move as much- what would they be moving away from?

#AES15 @ernelson114 :Larger tiger sharks have more drag through the water, it takes you more energy to move through the water

#AES15 @ernelson114 :Higher aspect ratio on fins means you can swim farther for less energy

#AES15 @ernelson114 :Took 15 detailed measurements from each tiger shark- total of 14 sharks of various sizes
