Pregnant Shark birth tracking technology provides key data for species protection
Arizona State University (ASU)

In a new study, researchers used new technologies to remotely document, for the first time in the wild, the location and timing of shark birth. Named the Birth-Alert-Tag (BAT), this new satellite tag remained inside the uterus, along with the developing shark pups, until the mother shark gave birth and expelled the newborn pups, along with the BAT, into the surrounding water. The BAT then floated to the surface and transmitted to satellites the location of where the shark birth took place. The first of its kind, the BATs were successfully deployed in a tiger shark and scalloped hammerhead shark, documenting the location birth.
