Sable Island Green Horse Society 44°N 60°W Home Maps etc Sable Island Horses ... Media Shark Predation on Sable Island Seals (March 2003) Click on thumbnails for more information In the early 1990s, there was a marked increase in the number of seals killed by sharks in the waters around Sable Island. Each year since then, a few hundred carcasses of shark-killed seals - grey, harbour, harp, hooded and ringed seals - are found washed ashore on Sable Island. A study of shark predation on seals has been underway on the island since 1993 and selected results are reported in several publications (see Additional Reading, below). A final manuscript, in collaboration with Lisa Natanson (Apex Predators Group, National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett Lab, Rhode Island), is in preparation. Shark predation on pinnipeds - seals, sea lions and fur seals - is a well- documented phenomenon. Shark-inflicted mortality may be a significant factor in the biology and behaviour of many pinniped species, influencing, for example, diving patterns, timing of breeding season, length of suckling period, and population dynamics. Reported shark predation on pinnipeds most often involves great white shark Carcharodon carcharias (e.g. California and South Africa) and tiger shark

dartTag = 'general/home'; All About Sharks Feared by most, loved my some and hunted by many, sharks are one of the most mysterious groups of creatures roaming the Earth today. Defined as a fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a sleek, streamlined body, a shark can range in size from the two foot pygmy shark, to the colossal 50-foot whale shark. There are more than 250 different species of sharks currently identified, making it one of the most diverse animal genera on the planet. Sharks are found in every major body of saltwater in the world, but are more common in warmer waters. There are a small number of shark species that do thrive in fresh water, and certain sharks have been known to venture from their saltwater homes to major freshwater lakes and rivers. Most members of the Shark family are predatory, though some are more ferocious than others. Ironically, the largest of the shark species, the whale shark and basking shark, are virtually harmless plankton eaters. Sharks have an extraordinary sense of smell when it comes to hunting prey, and have been known to be able to sense visually undetectable amounts of animal blood dispersed into the water from considerable distances. Uncover more about sharks below, including the origin and evolution of sharks, information on the infamous great white shark, the bull shark, tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, mako sharks and more.

The largest shark is the Whale shark at about thirteen and a half metres long. The smallest is the Spined pygmy shark at less than 18 cm long. Habitat and Distribution (where they are found) Sharks are found all over the world in a wide range of watery habitats, from shallow coastal waters to deep oceans. Whale shark and human diver Body and Behaviours Sharks' bodies are rounded, and taper at both ends, a shape which means they use little energy to swim. They have five different kinds of fins, which are stiff. One or two dorsal fins, a pair of pectoral fins, a pair of pelvic fins and a caudal fin (the tail) together lift, propel and stabilise the shark. Some sharks have an anal fin.

RELATED LINKS Sharks Myths and Stats Sharks Hall of Fame Shark Hearing Sharks have extremely sensitive hearing. They can identify much lower sounds than human ears can detect, and some can hear sounds more than 700 feet away. Some scientists think hearing is typically the first sense sharks use in detecting their prey. Shark Smelling Smell, however, could be the most remarkable of the sharks' senses. Some sharks may be able to track their prey by smell from up to a mile away, probably by following a trail of microscopic particles of protein or blood. Shark Babies Shark Evolution Shark Teeth Shark Predators Sharks rarely pose a danger to humans. But humans do pose a danger to sharks! Fishermen kill an estimated 30 million to 100 million sharks every year. About 75 shark species are in danger of becoming extinct.

Sharks Sharks have long held a special awe and fascination for humans, possibly something to do with their unmatched ability as predators and their position at the top of the ocean food chain. Just the thought of sharks still induces a primeval fear in many people, but of those fortunate enough to see live sharks in their own element, most cannot help but have a feeling of admiration for their beauty of movement and their supreme efficiency as predators. Sharks are one of the most physically perfect lifeforms on this planet. Chondrichthyes ), which make up only around 1% of living fishes. Sharks possess cartilaginous skeletons, and this is their main defining feature, shared also by the rays and the Chimaera family. All three groups fall within the class Chondrichthyes , (cartilaginous fish), with sharks and rays belonging to the subclass Elasmobranches Chondrichthyes have been around for nearly 400 million years largely unchanged, having early on become superbly adapted to their ecological role. All sharks are carnivorous, and almost all are predators, with highly developed sensory systems and a large area of the brain assigned to processing sensory information. While people tend to imagine all sharks as being active hunters of other animals, in fact they occupy a huge range of ecological niches, from the huge, planktivorous Basking and Whale sharks to the bottom dwelling Carpet sharks, and probably the ultimate pelagic predator; the Great White shark. Scientists currently recognise around 30 families and 370 species of sharks, plus 38 species of ghost or Chimaera sharks. Chimaeras (Holocephali) differ in several ways from the elasmobranchii, having a fixed upper jaw and fused plate-like teeth for crushing molluscs; only one external gill slit, long whip-like tails and being mostly deep-water benthic feeders.

The Shark Research Institute works to correct misperceptions about sharks and stop the slaughter of 100 million sharks annually. A primary conservation strategy of SRI is creating value for sharks as sustainable natural resources for tourism industries, particularly in developing countries. By so doing, a steady revenue stream is also generated for local fishers that might otherwise slaughter the sharks for immediate gain. Current programs involve visual and satellite tracking, behavioral and DNA studies of sharks, ocean advocacy, publications and public education. Membership is open to all who share our goals including the scientific community, individuals and organizations concerned about the health of the ocean ecosystem and marine resource users: subsistence fishermen, sport divers, governments, corporations and the tourism industry.
