Great(!!!) new video from @kjparton.bsky.social. It turns out that the #whiteshark population of #SouthAfrica was already in decline long before the famous #orcapredation was a factor

In biology, we need see where the data leads us, not adopt an explanation because it's a nice story.
In many places, people studying 🦈 #sharks say, "The #whiteshark are now avoiding location 'X' because of an orca attack." That may be an oversimplification.

"Together with the present record, these findings support the continued, though infrequent, presence of white sharks in the region. "

Here's a popular press overview - from The Conversation - of new research into how the #whiteshark teeth and jaws change as they age, transitioning from eating fish and squid as juveniles to seals and dolphins as adults
share.google/DY3shty4MqY2...
The #whiteshark teeth
"...transitioned from narrow, cuspidate forms with accessory cusplets in juveniles to broader, serrated teeth in larger individuals."
They also found that the #shark jaw changes when the animal gets to be around 210 cm long from snout to base of tail. (Aka 'PCL')
🦈 #shark
The #whiteshark diet changes as animals grow, and their teeth change, too, going from narrow (fish eater) to broad triangles (eating seals.) New research quantifies Tooth and matching jaw changes in Australian white sharks

BBC quotes Dr Francesco Ferretti of Virginia Tech:
"No other stretch of water is fished like the Mediterranean Sea...The impact of industrial fishing has been intensifying... and it's plausible that they will go extinct in the near future."

The presence of #sharks is an indicator of a healthy ecosystem, according to shark biologist Kyle Oliveira, a Ph.D. candidate at @umaine.bsky.social. Between late 1800 and mid-1900, the #whiteshark population took a hit due to overfishing, meaning fewer sightings along the East Coast.
For #SharkAwarenessDay, read research from Dr. Heather Bowlby (DFO) and colleagues on the movement behaviour of the #WhiteShark population in the Northwest Atlantic 🦈
