Stranded Sharks 08/29/10 8:30pm TDH
Scientists are trying to figure out what's been causing a recent string of Salmon sharks being stranded on beaches. 6-sharks have been reported stranded on Monterey Bay-area beaches in the last 10 days. Researchers believe the young Salmon sharks might suffer from a bacterial infection that makes them confused. Between 20 and 30 juvenile Salmon sharks are reported stranded in California each year. Researchers plan to dissect 2 of the sharks, to see if they have the bacterial infection.
