LONG BEACH (USA)- This summer the secret underwater lives of sharks will be revealed by a new underwater robot.
Biologist Chris Lowe from California State University Long Beach and engineer Chris Clark from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California have been developing a shark-tracking robot for the past three years to learn more about the fishes’ habits.
Although sharks receive more media attention than any other fish, marine scientists still don’t know much about how they live.
Researchers often rely on anecdotal reports from commercial fishermen to understand the range and behaviour of fish. But the shark industry is relatively small, so anecdotal information is scarce.
Now that will change. Read more at Wired. Or see the video below:
