The course will be taught by Dr. Peter Kimley for 9 days.<\/h3>\n

Dr. Kimley is a former Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology and Director of the Biotelemetry Laboratory at the University of California Davies.<\/p>\n

Between May 14 and 24, 2022, lectures on the biology of sharks and rays of Cocos Island will be given aboard the SharkWater.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After an introductory talk about the life history of sharks and rays and characteristics for the identification of the species, different topics will be developed such as.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An introduction to the sharks and rays at\u00a0Cocos, providing the identifying characteristics of each species with photos of each species with a little about the life history of each,<\/li>\n
  2. The evolution of sharks through geological time, including a discussion of the demise of the huge\u00a0Megalodon<\/i>\u00a0shark that fed on the proto whales,<\/li>\n
  3. The anatomy of sharks and rays and their modes of swimming,<\/li>\n
  4. The physiology of the cold bodied reef sharks and warm bodied mackerel sharks,<\/li>\n
  5. Sharks acute olfactory and mechanoreceptive abilities using their lateral lines and inner ears,<\/li>\n
  6. Sharks use of vision and electroreception to capture prey and use of electroreception (magnetoreception) in guiding them while making nightly foraging trips and long-distance migrations,<\/li>\n
  7. Feeding mechanisms such as ambushing, pursuit, scavenging, and plankton feeding,<\/li>\n
  8. Shark rates of growth and longevity with one species, the sleeper shark, living to an age of 360 years,<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Between many other topics<\/p>\n

    Academic credit is possible. Ask for details info@sharkwater.org<\/a><\/p>\n

    The course will also be open to anyone in the general public interested in learning more about sharks.<\/p>\n
