新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 James Sulikowski weighs in on shark culling for 鈥楳en鈥檚 Journal鈥
James Sulikowski, Ph.D., professor of Marine Sciences at the 新香港六合彩资料, was interviewed by 鈥楳en鈥檚 Journal鈥 for an article on the practice of shark culling.
Shark culling is a wildlife management concept aimed at systematically reducing a population of sharks in a given area, typically near swimming beaches or in places where numerous attacks have taken place. The thinking behind the practice is that if enough sharks are killed, particularly the largest sharks in the area, there will be less interaction with people near the shoreline.
In the article, Sulikowski explains that sharks do not intentionally bite humans, and that 鈥渙ur motions in the water give off a similar vibration pattern as that of a distressed marine animal.鈥 He also notes that when a shark bites a human, the shark realizes that it is a mistake. 鈥淓ven if they do initially attack because they鈥檙e looking for food, it鈥檚 usually a bite and release,鈥 he said.
