This figure shows a short portion of the data record from the mini-PAT we deployed on the very first shark we ever caught, tagged, and released in Resurrection Bay. Since we physically recovered this tag, we were able to access all recorded data, including data from a tri-axial accelerometer that shows changes in the orientation of the tag.
This revealed that this particular shark likely died a violent death, presumably the result of the attack by a predator, which occurred at a depth of around 270m. As we are looking into what happened here, we will fill in additional details on this event.
