Event Description
For twenty years Seattle Aquarium biologists have been informally monitoring sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) sightings by recreational SCUBA divers and fishers in Puget Sound. Since 2003 the aquarium has been conducting formal research studies of sixgill sharks in partnership with NOAA, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. The aquarium’s sixgill research involves integrated programs using population genetics and visual marker tagging to identify individuals, relatedness, population boundaries, relative abundance and movement patterns of sixgill sharks in Puget Sound.
