Sunrise arrived. And number five left.
The Aquarium’s recently exhibited white shark wore two tags when released early today, Wednesday, Nov. 4, at the southern tip of Monterey Bay. One tag delivers real-time data on her location (follow along at www.topp.org); another stores depths and temperatures for six months before popping to the surface and uplinking to a satellite.
The shark grew two inches and added 20 pounds during her 69-day stay. Halloween weekend skirmishes with scalloped hammerheads and a galapagos shark precipitated her release.
