"There were thousands of sharks, tightly packed like a carpet spread across the seafloor," explained UTAS researcher Jacquomo Monk about the flock of Port Jackson sharks.
Marine scientists don't really know why sharks tend to aggregate this way, even though such 'aggregation sites' are commonly observed in marine research.
This time around, the team realized that 'the Beagle gathering appears to be only for females,' indicating a potential sex segregation behavior.
Monk stated, 'We don't know exactly why the females are here,' hinting at ongoing mysteries surrounding the Port Jackson sharks' behavior.
