Ocearch founder Chris Fischer tweeted Saturday afternoon that his organization just released a four-metre long male great white from their vessel after tagging and collecting samples from it. HALIFAX—Researchers looking for a possible great white shark mating site off Nova Scotia have tagged another shark in Canadian waters. “White Shark Hal,” which Fischer said in his tweet is named after the people of Halifax, is the third shark Ocearch tagged during the group’s first expedition to Nova Scotia. Two other sharks — Nova and Jefferson, both male as well — were tagged last week. The tag information will assist in understanding where great white sharks move in Canadian waters and help inform recovery and protection efforts.
