Dustine hadn’t been on land for very long, and already he was planning his next voyage. He was a restless being, and the dry air of the city never played well with his sensitive skin.
He sat in a corner in a library he had found, maps covering the table and various books opened to a variety of subjects as the shark man poured over them. He’d take the occasional note, pencil tiny in his large hands. At one point he’d begin to glance between the books, then stands up. He shuffles awkwardly towards the woman he believed to be the librarian with his shoulders hunched as if to make sure that his nine foot tall frame wasn’t as menacing.
“Excuse me Ma’am?” He murmurs gently, giving her a sheepish smile as he bends down slightly. His broad shoulder would bump a shelf and he’d have a moment of panic as it wobbled before settling again. He turns back to her, giving an awkward chuckle. “Um..I was wondering if you had any books about the migration habits of Blackspotted Satanas Whales? I’m trying to map their routes along the northern most Satanas sea.”

Milk Shark Fish
Tumblr media
Milk shark is harmless to humans because of its small size and teeth. Caught using longlines, trawls, and hook-and-line, this shark is marketed fresh or dried and salted for human consumption, and is also used for shark fin soup and fish meal.
Fish is a wonderful source of high-quality protein. Fatty species also pack heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids What’s more, it has numerous benefits, including vision protection and improved mental health in old age. Fish is a wonderful source of high-quality protein.
Paal sura fish or milk shark is not consumed all over the country, but it is well-loved in Tamil Nadu. Consumption of milk sharks can help cure a common cold and cough and help mothers with lactation. Milk shark meat is delicate, soft, chewy, and flavorful and has a flaky texture that dissolves in the mouth. Milk sharks are seawater fish that can be found in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions.
Paal Sura Puttu recipe is common in every Tamil Nadu household. As with other South Indian dishes, this recipe makes use of minimal spices. The recipe also uses garlic and ginger which provide aroma and flavor to the dish. Green chilies and onions add depth and make it all the more enticing. The recipe also calls for quintessential Indian Ingredients like mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves.

New Study Reveals New Life History Characteristics of the Australian Blackspot Shark (Carcharhinus coatesi)
New Study Reveals New Life History Characteristics of the Australian Blackspot Shark (Carcharhinus coatesi)
A study published this earlier this month in the journal of Pacific Conservation Biology has shed some light  on the life history characteristics of the Australian Blackspot Shark (Carcharhinus coatesi) of Papua New Guinea and demonstrates the importance of studying data deficient populations. The Australian blackspot shark, also known as the Coates’s shark, is a small and slender shark has only…

"An Old Soul In A Silky Shark" - 🔵@maestro320 s Notes: I could hear Kimi Werner @kimi_swimmy telling Gordon Ramsay @gordongram to just, "Nudge It!" 😁 Here's a mild redirection on a Silky Shark filmed on location off Jupiter, Florida ontour with Florida Shark Diving @floridasharkdiving courtesy of the Co-Founder of Cipactli @cipactli , Underwater Photographer and Videographer, Tanner Mansell @tannerunderwater - She was nosing my camera this whole dive. Pure curiosity.. such an old soul, covered in scars. Love this silky. Such a beautiful animal. Little re-direct action. • The silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis), also known by numerous names such as blackspot shark, grey whaler shark, olive shark, ridgeback shark, sickle shark, sickle-shaped shark and sickle silk shark, is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, named for the smooth texture of its skin. It is one of the most abundant sharks in the pelagic zone, and can be found around the world in tropical waters. Highly mobile and migratory, this shark is most often found over the edge of the continental shelf down to 50 m (164 ft). The silky shark has a slender, streamlined body and typically grows to a length of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in). Studies conducted off the Florida coast and the Bahamas have shown that silky sharks are highly sensitive to sound, in particular low-frequency (10–20 Hz), irregular pulses. Experiments in which these sounds were played underwater attracted sharks from hundreds of meters away. Silky sharks likely orient to these sounds because they are similar to the noise generated by feeding animals such as birds or dolphins, thus indicating promising sources of food. These studies have also demonstrated that a silky shark attracted by one sound will quickly withdraw if that sound abruptly changes in amplitude or character; this change need not be a sound produced by a predator to evoke the reaction. Over repeated exposures, silky sharks habituate to the sound change and stop withdrawing, though it takes them much longer to do so compared to the bolder oceanic whitetip shark. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NibnclPk_/?igshid=10z17yu2euxxu

The silky shark has a slender, streamlined body and typically grows to a length of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in). It can be distinguished from other large requiem sharks by its relatively small first dorsal fin with a curving rear margin, its tiny second dorsal fin with a long free rear tip, and its long, sickle-shaped pectoral fins. It is a deep, metallic bronze-gray above and white below. It feeds on schooling fish, particularly favoring tuna, and is intensely sensitive to sounds, possibly to follow the sounds of other animals feeding.

White pomfret also known as Zubaidi, Butterfish, Managatsuo, Paplet, Sadumi, Avoli, and Vavval in regional areas. . It contains relatively high nutritional value. It may be considered good for your skin for its high vitamin A, vitamin B3, and vitamin E content. Pomfret is a seawater fish with a single bone. 
 Found in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans, it is a rich source of vitamins A, B-3 and E. You can either grill them, fry, steam or simply make delicious curry. They do not have a strong odor and aftertaste that most of the saltwater fish have. White pomfret is diamond-shaped, shiny seawater fish.
White Pomfret has lean meat with medium texture and a mild flavour. It is also low on fats as compared to the Black Pomfret. With a low presence of bones, the fish is an excellent choice for frying and curries This fish can grow to 23 inches but the photo specimen, wild caught in India
Benefits: Rich source of proteins, calcium, vitamins and minerals. Pomfret fishes are high in fat content, provides calcium, vitamins A and D including Vitamin B12.

❤️🌊PUT YOUR OWN CAPTION🌊❤️No Shark Fin Soup. #mbessence . Via @maestro320 🔵Maestro's Notes: The only way shark soup should look like in this incredible footage filmed on location at the Jardines de la Reina (Gardens Of The Queen), Cuba courtesy of Professional Wildlife Photographer and Cinematographer, Adam Martin @adammartinphotography - Floating inside in a school of Cuban Silky sharks... shot on @gopro 6 black at 120fps in Jardines de la Reina. • The silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis), also known by numerous names such as blackspot shark, grey whaler shark, olive shark, ridgeback shark, sickle shark, sickle-shaped shark and sickle silk shark, is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, named for the smooth texture of its skin.

The silky shark has a slender, streamlined body and typically grows to a length of 8 ft 2 in. It can be distinguished from other large requiem sharks by its relatively small first dorsal fin with a curving rear margin, its tiny second dorsal fin with a long free rear tip, and its long, sickle-shaped pectoral fins. It is a deep, metallic bronze-gray above and white below. The large size and cutting teeth of the silky shark make it potentially dangerous, and it has behaved aggressively towards divers. However, attacks are rare, as few humans enter its oceanic habitat. Silky sharks are valued for their fins, and to a lesser extent their meat, hide, liver oil, and jaws. Because of their abundance, they form a major component of commercial and artisanal shark fisheries in many countries. Furthermore, their association with tuna results in many sharks being taken as bycatch in tuna fisheries. Although slow-reproducing like most other sharks, the wide distribution and large population size of the silky shark was once thought to buffer the species against these fishing pressures.

"Directing Traffic" - 🔵@maestro320 's Notes: • " I many times encountered courage, real courage. Undeniable courage. I've heard it said that that was the highest quality of the human animal. I encountered that many times, in unexpected places. And I have learned to recognize it when I see it. " - Dorothea Lange • This beautiful video features My Longtime Friend, Animal Rehabilitation Specialist, Electronics Engineer, Passionate Shark Conservationist, Underwater Wildlife Photographer and Videographer, Birthday Girl 🎂, Cassandra Scott @covascott , filmed on location off Jupiter, Florida courtesy of the Co-Founder of Shark Addicts Diving @sharkaddictsdiving , Shark Diver and Underwater Wildlife Filmmaker, Mickey Smith @sharkaddicts2 - Happy birthday @covascott here she is directing silky shark traffic. • The silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis), also known by numerous names such as blackspot shark, grey whaler shark, olive shark, ridgeback shark, sickle shark, sickle-shaped shark and sickle silk shark, is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, named for the smooth texture of its skin.
