John, they don't only bite when you're wet. You can be on a boat, or a raft afloat, Stick your arm too close to a tank; They'll think "What the heck!" when you're out on deck And not even wait 'til you sank. Sorry. (not so much) |

04 Nov 12 - 09:02 PM (#3431093) Subject: RE: BS: Sharks From: Ed T Shark finning is illegal in Canada's fishery, I believe also the USA and many European countries. Where there are not directed fisheries, many shark species are down in numbers because they are caught in other directed large pelagic fisheries,and either landed as a bycatch, or if not commercially valuable, thay are discarded at sea-rarely surviving the ordeal. The Great White shark is a species at risk in some waters, such as in the eastern north Atlantic. Good Atlantic Canada shark stuff |

10 Feb 20 - 07:23 PM (#4033490) Subject: RE: BS: Sharks From: Joe Offer When my kids were about 8, 10, and 12, we took them for a week on Lopez Island in the San Juans in Puget Sound. I took the kids out in a rowboat on the glass-smooth water. We saw a beautiful, long Portuguese Man-of-War, trailing down several feet in the water. Then the kids said excitedly, "Dad, look! Some fish are following us!" I looked, and the fish were sharks, several of them, each about 3 feet long. I didn't tell the kids the fish were sharks, but I did tell them to keep their hands out of the water. The sharks followed us quite a bit of the way home. They seemed curious, not aggressive. Later I found out they were pupfish, an harmless variety of shark that tend to be curious like puppy dogs. Now those kids are over forty, but I'll always remember that lovely afternoon in the rowboat with them. And I admit I was a bit scared, but I did my best not to let the kids know it. -Joe- Baby Shark thread (click) |

10 Feb 20 - 08:12 PM (#4033496) Subject: RE: BS: Sharks From: Steve Shaw Sharks are wonderful animals. Their evolution goes back at least 420 million years, twice as far back as dinosaurs. They are elasmobranch fish, far more primitive than modern bony fish. They have cartilaginous skeletons and no bones. They don't have swim bladders for buoyancy, so most species will settle on the seabed if they stop swimming. Their primitive homeostatic mechanisms prevent them from entering fresh water, but I doubt whether they care. |

11 Feb 20 - 06:37 AM (#4033553) Subject: RE: BS: Sharks From: gillymor There are at least several species of freshwater sharks and some diadromous ones as well like the Bull shark which I've encountered way up the Caloosahatchee river here in SWFL. The Nats used the Baby Shark dance in their dugout celebrations during their World Series run last year. The fans got into it as well. |

The bull shark is a great example of why I got that wrong, but it's worth pointing out that a good few freshwater "sharks" are not real sharks at all. |
