A licenced researcher fitting an ID tag to a tope shark which is held in a custom tagging cradle. Tagging typically takes less than 10 minutes, during which a pump is used to supply water to the sharks gills at all times. All tagging is conducted under home office licence.

My day job is more fish orientated! I'm leading research for #ProjectSIARC, the
#OceanPredatorLab, and #ZSL to investigate movements of Critically Endangered tope (soupfin) sharks in North Wales, UK - a seasonal hot-spot! 🧪🐟🦈🐙
