Great white sharks in Nova Scotia might reason pivotal to species’ secrets

A Nova Scotia scientist says good white sharks recently tracked in Nova Scotia waters might offer insight into a mating habits of these fugitive creatures of a deep.

George, a three-metre-long good white, is a latest toothy traveller to cocktail adult in a Maritimes. His satellite tab was rescued only before 11 p.m. AT on Wednesday a few kilometres off Saint John, N.B., in a Bay of Fundy.

Hilton, a 3.7-metre-great white, has been rescued swimming along Nova Scotia’s south seaside given late July. Most recently, Hilton’s satellite tab was picked adult by a sensor tighten to seaside in Mahone Bay on Sunday.

A few weeks ago, Pumpkin — a 2.7-metre womanlike — was rescued feeding during a mouth of a Avon River in a Minas Basin.

For scientists like Fred Whoriskey, executive executive of Dalhousie University’s Ocean Tracking Network, a fact good whites are here might be an denote Nova Scotia waters are a place for males and females to mingle.

“The mating stays a bit of a poser here,” he said.

“We’re commencement to build adult a design of a transformation and where a animals are going, so that’s going to help. We need to find a places where a males and females are co-occurring and maybe pausing for a small bit in a same place during a same time and that’s going to give we your initial hints.” 

Little is famous about a mating habits and locations of these fugitive sharks, listed listed as involved underneath a Canadian Species At Risk Act.

“It’s positively probable it could be function off a coast,” pronounced Whoriskey.

Some swimmers like Carmen Wedlake who was cooling off during Nova Scotia’s Queensland Beach this week — one brook over from Mahone Bay where Hilton was final rescued — was astounded to hear of some-more sharks rescued in a water.

“What!? There’s another one?” she said.

“I don’t feel frightened though. we don’t let that deter me divided from removing in a water.”

Whoriskey pronounced it’s not a warn white sharks are here. 

“This is a normal operation for a white shark to be, so they shouldn’t be terribly astounded to know that they’re here in a waters,” he said.

Sharks have always been here

He pronounced a sharks are here progressing than expected, but Whoriskey pronounced there have also been a lot of striped drum here — a class good whites feed on — in areas serve north than it’s customarily seen. 

Whoriskey pronounced there’s small risk to people. 

“I’m not quite endangered about this one [Hilton],” he said.

“These are smaller animals, they’re chasing fish and that’s what their primary food source is … and to a best of my believe there’s never been a news of conflict by sharks on anybody in Canada so we don’t see that changing in a nearby future.”
