NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A commercial fishing captain who spotted dozens of the world’s biggest fish off Louisiana’s coast last year turned his boat into a research vessel for a week - taking scientists and photographers to look for whale sharks.
Captain Russell Underwood and scientist Eric Hoffmayer of the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory found the sharks they were looking for.
Hoffmayer and a graduate student tagged three of the huge spotted fish. And photographers and a videographer who went with them got photos to identify those fish and another four.
All seven sharks are new to an international whale shark database.
The tags will pop off and release months of information about the sharks’ movements - either in the spring, or earlier if the sharks dive really deep.
