- The 2005 Juvenile Mako Shark Survey returned after 18 days of fishing in the southern California Bight. A total of 5,719 hooks were fished at the 28 sampling stations. Captured sharks were tagged with conventional spaghetti tags, satellite transmitting tags, and tetracycline. Catch included 80 mako, 101 blue, 2 common thresher shark, and 12 pelagic rays. The preliminary data indicate overall catch rates were 0.369 per 100 hook-hours for mako and 0.443 per 100 hook-hours for blue sharks.
- Four undergraduate students of Bukyung National University (BNU), Korea, visited our Center and SIO on July 26. They had a chance to learn about various projects of the Fisheries Resources Division and visited with Dr. Bill Fox. These four students were the winning team among many college student teams involved in a competition. Their topic was, “Searching and exploring ways toward marine resource conservation of Korea,” and they chose to visit the laboratories and universities specializing in marine science in the United States because they believe that the U.S. is the world leader in marine conservation. During their trip, they visited the Alaska Fisheries Science Center and the University of Washington in Seattle before coming down to San Diego to visit our Center and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Nancy Lo wants to thank Dr. Fox, Roger Hewitt, and all the scientists for taking time to talk to students, Anne Allen for preparing informative brochures, and Dimitry Abramenkoff for providing transportation.
