Great White Sharks Gather in Droves in the Middle of Nowhere, But Why?

Every winter, a large number of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) who swam for one month from the coast of California and Mexico gather in the open space of the deep sea of ​​the Pacific Ocean. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Laboratory reported that scientists would track some sharks into their mysterious ocean retreat and discover some potential causes of terrible predators that might attract that area.

According to the Schmidt Institute of Oceanography, this shark is known as the White Shark in the Northeast Pacific, and feeds elephant seals and other marine mammals along the California coast between August and December. Then in December the sharks swam to their meeting place in the middle of the sea. They spent winter and spring before returning to California. Scientists are difficult to understand why these rich predators will leave California's rich food because satellite imagery shows that the area is a sea desert.

Barbara Block, a marine scientist at Hopkins Marine Station at Stanford University, discovered this area when chasing prominent sharks in the area more than a decade ago. She called it "White Shark Cafe", but I did not know why the shark would go there. [Photo gallery: White shark]

This spring, the block of Stanford University and her colleague, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium went to the place of a magical shark meeting at the Schmidt Oceanographic Research Forkor Falkor. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, this is a delicious White Shark buffet.

This group of special marine creatures moves up and down the water column everyday through the so-called middle water area - the place where the sun penetrates deep into the sea - every day. During the day, creatures deeply sink and return to shallow at night.

Data from electronic tags taken from 10 sharks indicate that predators follow a similar pattern - about 1500 feet (450 m) during the day and about 650 feet (200 m) at night, I will do diving several times. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, in April, male sharks increased diving activity with up to 140 diving per day, but women's shark diving habits remained unchanged.

I talked to the San Francisco Chronicle as follows. "The story of White Sharks shows that this area is very important for the area we have not realized so far." "They talked to us about this amazing story about China Water, and we need to understand this whole secret life."

"They eat different things or have a connection with their breeding," Jorgensen told the San Francisco Chronicle.

The team is continuing to analyze the cruise ship data this year and I would like to answer more questions about the biological significance of White Shark Cafe. Jorgensen said Live Science is planning to announce the results within the next few months.

Many scientists now believe that White shark is a clever and very curious creature. When white sharks gather, they seem to behave differently from the start of each other to a confident physical sniper. These sharks are primarily temperate and subtropical waters, the best predators of the world's oceans. A wonderful white man trekking. Some people travel from the Hawaiian Islands to California, and sharks from South Africa to Australia are the longest travel time for all fish records.

A white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as a white shark or white pointer, is a member of the largest species of squid (Lamnidae) and is one of the most powerful and dangerous predatory sharks in the world. As a villain starring a movie like Jaws (1975), white sharks received a lot of embarrassment and fear of the masses. Surprisingly, however, people know little about their lives and behaviors. White shark populations are characterized by high yields of temperate coastal waters (ie, abundant fish and marine mammals, such as the northeastern United States of America and the western coast of the United States, Chile, the northern part of Japan, southern Australia, New Zealand and southern Africa Water area). And the Mediterranean. Some individual white sharks may travel far to the sea or tropical waters, but field studies have shown that most people return to these temperate feeding areas each year.
