A ROBOT camera has been used in British seas for the first time to monitor the behaviour of huge basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) off the Scottish coast.
Marine scientists have just spent a week off the coast of Mull in the Inner Hebrides tagging three basking sharks using the cameras attached to the shark’s dorsal fin and trailing behind the huge fish. This type of tag has never before been used to film basking sharks.
Basking sharks are the second-largest fish in the world, an endangered species weighing up to seven tonnes and 33 feet (10m) long with a huge mouth over three feet (1m) wide.
