BLUE SHARK 07.tif

Download
Elliott targets the largest specimens, which have dorsal fins big enough to attach the palm-sized GPS transmitter. It will record the shark’s depth, location and water temperature for up to three years, the limit of the battery life, and beam the data to a satellite whenever the shark is at the surface.The data coming from the tagged sharks also confirms the feeding behaviour of
blues. They dive to the thermocline at night and digest on the surface during the day.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 121 May – June 2013.
