ZSL Instant Wild

Yay! New #topes and other stuff in #ProjectSIARC on @zslofficial.bsky.social #InstantWild today!
instantwild.zsl.org/task/373221

After a few weeks off, I've returned to the news that 2 of our #tope have been recorded on a telemetry array in South Wales/England! Fantastic to get 1st detections of our animals and insight into #connectivity between MPA's in Wales + England. Where will our sharks go next? #ProjectSIARC #ZSL

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! 🧪🐟🦈🐙
