17 YEAR STUDY ON FEMALE LEMON SHARKS - BAHAMA NESTING GROUND

BBC SCIENCE : LEMON SHARKS GO HOME TO REPRODUCE

"In the study, scientists tracked lemon sharks in the Bahamas for 17 years to prove the case.

Even though this species is highly migratory, pregnant females prefer to give birth where they themselves were born.

The researchers say it strengthens the argument for restrictions on fishing at specific sites.

The idea of females returning to their own place of birth to reproduce has been observed in a number of marine species most notably in salmon but it has also been seen in sea turtles.

In this new work, researchers looked at lemon sharks in their largest nursery area around the Bimini Islands in the Bahamas."

DIVER AND LEMON SHARK ARE FRIENDS - HIGH FIVE

"Of the shark unexpectedly slapping his hand with its fin the veteran diver added, "Luckily my friend who owns an underwater camera captured it all on film for me to show the grand kids."Lemon sharks, so-named because of the pale yellow-brown color of their skin, are found in subtropical waters and reach lengths of about 10 feet."
