‘Enormous breakthrough’ for great white shark expedition off Nova Scotia
HALIFAX — The Ocearch research team came to Nova Scotia this fall on a hunch.
Could the movements of two tagged great white sharks — dubbed Hilton and Lydia — suggest the mysterious predators have an undiscovered mating site off Canada’s Atlantic coast?
The team hoped to capture and tag one shark on their first Nova Scotia foray.
Instead, they saw more than 10 sharks, collected samples from seven, and tagged six.
