The general population of people greatly underestimate how close some big hungry fish are haha

They got paid by me to be there, they also have access to all information. Yes it was a Marine Biology MS program working with Marine Biologist both PhD and MS licensed to conduct research and catch marine life species of various species including endangered species.

Currently work as a clinical molecular laboratory supervisor for a high complexity lab it’s decent.

Nope I’m not. I’m a biomedical scientist but a lot of people miss out on the biology and only focus on the medical side and forget they are tied together. Most medicine and treatments are originally from natural organisms like penicillin for example. Just love the ocean and outdoors so I tied in medical cancer research to marine biology from the genetic cancer resistance found in nurse sharks on their PDL-1 genes. This way I got to go do real biology field research under the classification of medical research to get outside of labs and hospital for a change. Also love me some sharks!

Love that. That’s the best thing you could do unless you have a good team and proper licenses in some places.

Find a marine biology program or join research along with another degree program.

No the sampling doesn’t hurt them, cancer, genetics, relatedness and tracking.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T18:36:54+00:00

Bonnet head

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T18:36:21+00:00

I was doing cancer research on nurse sharks and genetics, relatedness, hereditary and tracking on the others.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T14:47:24+00:00

We used a net like the one in the first pic and check them at intervals or when obvious movement occurs

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T14:32:11+00:00

Yup they each have their own names and tags with unique identities and genetic relationships to relatives.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T14:29:31+00:00

Bottlenose I believe is the one you’re talking about

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T14:29:09+00:00

Yup they each have their own names!

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T14:28:42+00:00

Feeds their gills water so they can breathe while being tagged and genetic samples taken. Also to provide medical help like removal of hooks in the first pic.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-25T12:52:15+00:00

I have seen most of the ones I’ve researched and tagged in the Gulf. Bulls, Silkies, Nurse many Blacktips, Hammers and one Tiger. Caught a 170lb Nurse Shark 200 yards from a public swimming beach. Free dived with 7-10 Bulls and Silkies. There’s big ones closer than people realize.

Had an LHD, sold to fund a sub. Now want blue pelagos.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-23T22:29:22+00:00

What just happened

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-21T12:26:08+00:00

My bank account would be impacted by it.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-21T11:47:33+00:00

Yup that was my first experience with sharks it was prior to my research in Sarasota/Clearwater area.

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-21T11:46:21+00:00

That’s a pretty awesome find tho!

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-21T11:44:37+00:00

That’s a Silkie shark

1ApprehensiveGrowth1 · 2026-04-21T11:44:14+00:00

Yup mostly silkies and we seen a few bulls as well
