Large numbers of great white sharks gather in the waters off the the Canadian province every year in the late summer and fall.
"Just a few hours into our first day of fishing, we successfully tagged our first white shark! Breton is a 13-foot, 3-inch long mature male named for the people of Cape Breton. What a start!" A post on the OCEARCH Facebook page read.
The OCEARCH team uses a modified drumline to catch sharks before guiding them back to the research vessel, where a special lift is used to bring them onto the deck. Once there, researchers take a variety of samples and fit the animal with a tracking device that"pings" every time its fin breaks the surface of the water. This sends a signal to a satellite, enabling the scientists to pinpoint its location.
"One of the most exciting recent discoveries that we are still learning more about is just how important Canada is to Northwest Atlantic white sharks," Fischer previously told."For years it has been known that places like Cape Cod are fall hotspots for white sharks, but Canada was never really on anyone's radar.""But the two expeditions to Nova Scotia showed us that something very special is happening up there.
