“Our findings will allow for informed decisions to be made about the use of bite-resistant wetsuit materials for occupational activities, as well as enabling the public to make appropriate decisions about the suitability of using these products," said co-author @charlie-huveneers.bsky.social.

The researchers from @flindersuniversity.bsky.social's Southern Shark Ecology Group say that while internal and crushing injuries may still occur, bite-resistant wetsuits can now be added to the ‘toolkit’ of measures available to reduce shark-bite risk and resulting injuries.

Australian shark experts have tested four bite-resistant materials to assess their ability to reduce injuries and blood loss.

New paper introducing the term of SUPER HABITAT for sharks in which all critical activities (resting, feeding, mating & giving birth) occurs.

‼️ New important shark paper 🦈
We demonstrate that all critical life stages (resting, feeding, being cleaned, mating & giving birth) can occur in the small Fakarava channel & we define it as a “super habitat”

My first-first author paper is out! We found that overall healing in sharks was comparable between sutured and non-sutured incisions. But sutured incisions had significantly more bacteria present. www.publish.csiro.au/wr/pdf/WR25009 Forever thankful to Jordan Matley & @charlie-huveneers.bsky.social

Ever wondered what factors influence the number of shark bites?

Delphine Duval led a review of scientific evidence of factors proposed to affect shark-bite risk.

There is a broad range of shark-bite mitigation measures available. If you wonder how to assess them, we’ve developed a new framework to help compare which measures might be most suitable
