Satellite tags show how white sharks travel

Quote:
Date: 15 December 2004

Scientists are using satellites to follow the movements of four white sharks fitted with tracking tags at North Neptune Island near Port Lincoln, South Australia, in mid-November.

The male sharks, which range in length from 3.2-3.8 metres and weigh 300-500 kilograms, had travelled 500-700 kilometres in the first three weeks since being tagged.

The white sharks have been named Rolf, Bomber, Michael and Sam C. Their tracks can be viewed on this website white sharks
