RESEARCHERS IN PACIFIC GROVE HAVE RELEASED NEW INFORMATION REVEALING THE MIGRATION PATTERN OF SHARKS. THE STUDY CAME OUT OF THE HOPKINS MARINE STATION, WHERE SCIENTISTS THERE DISCOVERED DATA THAT SHOWS HOW GREAT WHITE SHARKS STORE OIL IN THEIR LIVER AND THEN DEPLETE IT AS THEY TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES. THE DATA IS THE FIRST OF IT’S KIND FOR SHARKS. RESEARCHERS SAY A WELL-FED SHARK BECOMES MORE BUOYANT AS IT INCREASES THE FAT RESERVES IN IT’S LIVER BEFORE A LONG MIGRATION PERIOD.
