Grey Nurse Shark

Dr Nicholas Otway (NSW DPI) surgically implants an acoustic tag into a protected grey nurse shark (Carcharias taurus), which will transmit information on the sharks movements for up to 10 years. This is the first time this method has been used to study this species, photographed off South West Rocks, New South Wales, Australia, Pacific Ocean.
