A great white shark marked by the National Institute of water and atmospheric research (NIWA) could submerge to 3.937 feet (1,200 meters) deep. Scientists from New Zealand-based research organization hope to gain a better understanding of migratory patterns of the great white shark, studying their movements. According to NIWA: A great white shark who we call cabin, 4.8 meters, holds the record for depth that you have registered for a shark of this species. This shark has other multiple records of 3937 feet (1,200 meters) deep to cross the ocean. Before this, there had been values around 3281 feet of 1,000 metres, a considerable difference even though the great white sharks are protected in New Zealand waters since 2007, little is known about their habitat requirements and their interactions with sharks in other places.Before starting this job five years ago, it was thought that large sharks cold-water fish were white. But it seems that great white sharks are taking tropical winter holidays in warmer places.
The maximum distance of migrated was 2,051-mile (3300 km), these data could be of great help to prevent attacks by sharks on humans. For a period of five years, scientists from New Zealand marked cabin and 24 of other great white sharks with electronic tags. High-tech label records location, depth and temperature, and is released after a time (usually 6 to 9 months) pre-determined, to transmit data via satellite, according to a statement from press NIWA. After almost a year, the label is released belt, fleet on the surface of the ocean and starts to send the data via satellite. the label itself will be recovered after washing ashore, where we can extract data from the same. So far, we have recovered 6 labels in the Pacific Ocean, said Francis. TiburonpediA original author and source of the article
