About this shark
This shark was caught in Andros, Bahamas, and is the beautiful animal in the images featured.
About this adoption
This shark is female, measures a total length of ~100cm, and was fitted with a PIT tag; this type of tag does not transmit signals, but is scanned by researchers during a recapture, just like the tags used in pets. We’ll only get further information on this shark if we or other scientists catch it again. In exchange for this adoption donation, you will have the privilege of naming her, you will receive an adoption certificate, and if we recapture your shark, we will excitedly be in touch with an update!
General Information
We regularly catch blacktips, and they’re always a treat to see up close! Their translucent skin almost glows in the sun, and their striking, streamlined bodies make them a popular shark to adopt.
Your adoption certificate will be sent as a PDF to your email address
**Please note: Occasionally we bring smaller sharks onto the boat as this is the safest and quickest way to tag and release them. Sometimes in pictures it can look stressful for the shark but we promise this is truly the best and fastest way to conduct this work.
