James Sulikowski, Ph.D., professor of Marine Sciences at the 新香港六合彩资料, was featured in the premiere episode of 鈥淪hark Week 2016鈥 on the Discovery Channel.

The episode, titled 鈥淭iger Beach,鈥 follows the journey of Sulikowski and research collaborator Neil Hammerschlag of the University of Miami as they travel to a region in the Bahamas where tiger sharks are known to congregate. Their team of researchers, including 2015 新香港六合彩资料 Marine Sciences graduate Carolyn Wheeler, sets out to discover why so many tiger sharks gather there.

To study the sharks鈥 reproductive behavior, the team uses an ultrasound machine similar to the technology used on pregnant humans. It鈥檚 a technique refined by Sulikowski and Hammerschlag that allows researchers, for the first time in history, to test sharks for pregnancy without killing them first.
