Very informative. I guess that pretty much answers why and where those tuna rings(cages) are placed.

This is bad news actually imho The fish seem to mostly be resident types. Easy pickins' for the Japanese, but hey, they have permission.:mad:

Got to love "Monte" the Short fin Mako.

How do they tag great white sharks?? Seems a bit hazardous.:o

Very carefully. :biggrin:

Three people in an 18 foot boat float a seal decoy to attract shark and then when it gets close enough they use a 10 foot tagging pole with a dart on it that punctures the shark's skin and then toggles sideways, like a cufflink, to anchor the tag.
