Shark Fact 8: Respiratory System

Nurse Shark

Some species of sharks have a spiracle that allows them to pull water into their respiratory system while at rest. Most sharks have to keep swimming to pump water over their gills.

A shark's spiracle is located just behind the eyes which supplies oxygen directly to the shark's eyes and brain. Bottom dwelling sharks, like angel sharks and nurse sharks, use this extra respiratory organ to breathe while at rest on the seafloor. It is also used for respiration when the shark's mouth is used for eating.

Hi Barbie!

[13-possums-in-a-trenchcoat]

if you've never watched the documentary Sharkwater, I highly recommend it. one of my favourite ways to learn about something is to be taught by someone who just genuinely loves the subject, and Rob Stewart (Canadian film maker, shark conservationist, made the documentary and unfortunately died because someone tampered with his oxygen tank on a dive) absolutely adored sharks. there are scenes in that documentary that showcase just how beautiful and gentle sharks are. there's this clip of a shark swimming right up next to him so he can hug and pet it, and the level of trust between him and the shark makes me emotional. just so beautiful. he shed light on the illegal shark fin industry, and there are clips of him aboard the Sea Shephard, sabotaging these shark finning boats. he was really willing to go the extra mile for these creatures, and honestly I just wish more people lived their lives with a passion like that. I watched Sharkwater in my grade ten science class, and it literally changed my life. I have loved sharks ever since. I highly recommend watching it. the best way to learn is from someone who loves the subject. you will be able to share their joy, even just a little. go watch the movie. save some sharks.

if i were paid a dollar for every person who is associated with sharks and one day, going out into the ocean, would not be found, i would have two dollars, which is not so much, but it is strange that i have them. eion bailey and rob stewart, i mean you. if you somehow haven't seen rob stewart's «sharkwater» movie yet, then what are you so busy with? however, this film is not that easy to watch (at least for me, i cried throughout the movie), so be prepared.

That's basically sharkwater.

Shark documentary ad that makes it look like an action movie lots of blood and shots that look like there from a shark horror movie and use phases like “terror of the deep” to reel people in

But then the actual document is about how human are a bigger danger to sharks and how we are predators to them and we need to work to protect and preserve the species

While we’re at it

I’ll just pop a couple of Rob Stewart’s films up here, in case you are interested in learning more about how integral sharks are to our ocean ecosystems, the threats that face them, and the men and women championing their survival. They are well made, eye opening, and highlight so much for ocean lovers.

We’re coming up on the 5 year anniversary of his death, a terrible tragedy, and I wish he could see what else is being done in his absence. More awareness, more exposure, and there is still more to do.

Shark Sense: 04

A Night Shark's green eye

Most sharks can see well in dark lighted areas, have fantastic night vision, and can see colors. The back of sharks’ eyeballs have a reflective layer of tissue called a tapetum. This helps sharks see extremely well with little light.

#Repost from our conservation friends at...@teamsharkwater @download.ins --- Congrats Hawaii who continues to lead the US in shark protections! Shark fishing is illegal in the state as of January 1st. The State of Hawaii’s Division of Aquatic Resources has announced that shark fishing is officially banned, thanks to a bill passed in 2021 by the State legislature. Act 51 makes it illegal to contain, entangle, or kill all shark species in state marine waters. In 2010, Hawaii became the first U.S. state to ban the possession, sale, trade, and distribution of shark fins. A shout out to @senatordonovandelacruz who led the initiative and @govhawaii David Ige who signed the new law into effect. This bill will help protect all sharks from being fished and finned in state marine waters. This law is aimed to protect young shark species at risk of being overfished. The Division of Aquatic Resources Administrator, Brian Neilson, said in a statement, “Our Department is well aware of how important sharks are to maintain healthy marine ecosystems. And we recognize their importance for native Hawaiian cultural practices and beliefs.” To help integrate this new law, the DNLR may implement specific regulations such as “ensuring that the incidental capture and release of sharks while targeting other species is not a violation; preventing the wanton waste of sharks; and limiting gear such as gill nets, in areas identified as shark nursery habitats.” Anyone caught breaking the law will be subject to a misdemeanour accompanied by a hefty fine. First-time offenders will face a $500 fine, second-time offenders will receive a $2,000 fine, then third and repeated offenders will receive a $10,000 penalty per offence. #robstewart #sharkwater # sharks # fin free #sharkfree # mainline #nature #stopsharkfinning #savesharks #sharkwaterextinction #marinewildlife #pangeaseed (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/wildlifevoiceinc/p/CZIs14fuzcN/?utm_medium=tumblr
